There is no "relay" per se for the headlights. The switch doesn't actually switch power to the headlights. It's only a signal to the body control module (BCM). When the BCM receives a signal from the headlight switch, it switches power to the headlights. There is no mechanical relay in this system. Headlight switch is a fairly high failure item on Chrysler products, so the first thing you want to do is use a scan tool to see if the BCM is actually getting the command to turn on the headlights. If it is, then you've either got a bad BCM or a wiring issue from the BCM to the headlights.

SOURCE: 2001 subaru outback headlight not working

chapmnfarm: your head lights use a "2" fuse system.
one for the left and one for the right.
The fuse box you are looking for is under the hood on the passenger's side. It is a black box roughly 8 inches long and 4-5 inches wide. When you remove the cover, you will see fuses and relays. What you are looking for is the section in the box which has a cluster of 7 fuses. 3 in one row and 4 in the other. On the outer parameter are two relays. The fuses you are interested in are located in the row of 4 fuses, with the two closest to the "L" shaped part of the box. Both of those should be 15 amp fuses.
The fuse below those should be a 20 amp which is the lighting switch and the one below it is a 15 amp which is for the interior lights and the clock.
Check your harness grounds in the engine compartment near the area you have the problem. There are ground wires which come out of the harness on both sides of the core support. The wires are black in color and have "EYES" crimped onto the ends of the wires. Both of them will probably be located about 4-6 inches below the upper tie bar on each side of the radiator. Odds are that the eyes will be large enough to pass a 6mm bolt through.
I hope what I have given you will resolve your problem. Lem me know,,good luck>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

there is a ground wire for both sides. follow the wire from the connector to body and clean, Test the 12 volt wire to make sure it has 12 volts. If not bad switch or bad wire or contact in the connector. Wiggle the connector first with the lights on to see if it changes.

2014 focus passenger low beam light quits working

owners manual fuses start page 221
https://cdn.dealereprocess.net/cdn/servicemanuals/ford/2014-focus.pdf
lights starts page 90
change light bulbs starts page 246

if just one bulb quit working might be the bulb, connection, wiring or ground wire.
Some cars may have a fuse for different light, or multiple lights. From what I see you do not have a fuse for one low beam light.
Some cars have relays for example high beam lights I don't see a relay for one low beam light.
I think you have a bad bulb or light socket or wiring.
You can try putting the drivers side bulb in the passenger side see if it works that should tell you if it is the bulb.

I changed the bulb and checked all my fuses but the light still doesn't work. any help would be awesome. thanks

Using a test light, turn the lights on. Remove the bulb and test between each bulb terminal and ground, if the test light goes on, you have a bad ground at the socket.

Passenger side headlamp wont light up

I'm assuming globe means bulb. I have replaced many bulbs that look fine, and that turns out to be the problem. But to stop you from chasing down a problem that isn't there, test the connector that attaches to the bulb. Should be power there with the head lights on. There should be a fuse, and a relay. The fuse is under the dash or on the side of the dash near the door hinges, I'm just not sure if this car would have seperate fuses for L headlight and R headlight. But you should check power first at the connector.
