Default New 2004 A4 owner need advice please (HID fuse)

Hi I'm new here, just bought an '04 A4 3.0 manual with the HID headlights, I love it! However the right side headlight is showing "dipped" on the screen I bought and replaced the bulb, but it still doesn't work. I looked for a fuse in the driver's side dash fuse panel, but there isn't a fuse for the HID's. Does anyone know where the fuse or breaker is for the Xenon lowbeams please? Thanks

Took it back to the dealer i bought it from, his mechanic took the light assembly out, moisture got in and corroded the xenon ballast control module

He told me to seal the light assembly with silicone windshield sealant and get a ballast off ebay, but I took the lights out and the ballast off and let it all dry in the house overnight, sealed the assembly,blew out the ballast with my compressor the next day, put it all together and it's been fine.
