I'm pretty sure there isn't a separate fuse for the headlights like you used to get. As far as I'm aware the heaflights are controlled by CanBus controller which monitors the current and shuts down the circuit if the current falls outwith normal parameters. Thete are fuses to protect the controllers.

It does make it difficult to diagnose a fault as if you take the bulb out and try to.measure the voltage the cirvuit will shut down after 5 secs because no current is being drawn. Most common issue, if it's not the bulb, is the holder. A few people have been known to fry the controller by fitting higher wsttage bulbs.
