FB RX7 Headlight Fuse Location??

Hey everyone was just wondering where the fuse for the low beam headlights is. I believe it to be blown, as my headlights have stopped working entirely except for the high beam flasher. I checked and no power is getting to the actual bulbs. This problem also emerged after changing the main cable traveling from the battery positive to the starter motor which was also replaced, to me suggesting the fuse as a prime suspect.

Any insight would be appreciated, I have searched and besides the Haynes manual acknowledging its existence, have found nothing in the book or online.

Not so sure about the FB but the FC fuse box is under the dash on the drivers side near your clutch pedal (if it's manual obvi ). Also the larger fuses (30A-100A) are found under the hood mounted to the drivers side suspension tower. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the insight, I've already checked my interior fuse box and it has nothing related to headlights. My car doesn't have the strut tower fuse box either unfortunately from what I can tell, there were, however, some weird sort of resistor things that I discovered were related to the low beams (would react to the light switch being on or off) however they were in perfect working order.

The block on the strut tower is the fusable-links.

You might check the grounds at the headlights. The best way test is to start at the headlights and check voltages working your back to the fuse panel via the column switch.

Okay, I didn't realize there were grounds there, I will look for them and try and test them, thanks.
