Default Where's the fuse in Phillips HIDs?

I recently had some front end work done at my local acura dealership. Apparently they did not re-zip tie the wires back, so one of the wires going across the radiator to the driver's side was loose and dragged on the header which burnt right through it. I reconnected the two pieces of wire, but the lights do not come back on. I'm pretty sure there is a fuse in the system and am wondering if maybe it got blown when the wire was burnt through. I just dont know where the fuse is. Can somebody help me please?

Have you checked the headlight fuses under the dash?

It under your driver side. Above the hood latch.

Ok, I checked the L and R low-beam fuses under the dash and they are fine. I thought the actual HID system had it's own fuse/fuse box next to the ballasts, No?

The small square thing is the ignitor. The larger box is the ballast. I don't think there's a fuse in there. More than likely the fuse under the dash.

More than likely it's not a fuse. If the two fuses are fine, it's something else.

Are both lights out or just one?
