So this POS car had the right side headlights go out., Ok bad bulbs right? So I go to town buy bulbs and NOPE. Then I look in the manual and see it has a fuse for the Right side headlights and Left side headlights, (Fuse 5&6) OK mine does not have fuse 5&6 WTF???

So I turn to google and find 14 other complaints of F16 fuse melting in the under hood fuse box (Oddly this is labeled BRAKES) and sure enough mine is melted. Not willing to pay $600 for a fuse box I ripped it apart. it turns out the Battery side was melted on mine but the fused side was like new. My solution was 2 male yellow crimp on 1/4 QCs and a inline 30 amp fuse holder. I went from the love side of one of the spare fuse locations to the fused side of F16
