Default Low Beam headlights/fogs don't work

Hey guys, I'm in some need of help. I was installing a relay harness for an HID kit and when I fired it up I noticed they didn't ignite. I uninstalled everything and attempted to put the halogen bulbs back on but now the low beam headlights on both sides don't work and neither does the fog lights. Everything was working fine previously. I'm assuming a fuse was blown but have searched and cannot find which fuse it is. Can anyone help me out? Sort of sucks now that I can't drive at night

Do you check inside the car driver side kick panel, passeger side kick panel and on front of the battery, fuse box. Also when you installed the relay harness kit, do you try the change the hid plugs 180 degree. Most of the time you have to do is change the plugs or the polarity in the plug (change the plugs 180 degrees) and so will have continuity in the cables and of course on the lights. You can try that after you fix your current problem first.

headlamp fuses should be in engine compartment, near the battery.

Thanks for the prompt reply and support Mcon! Turns out the curlprit was all of the above making it a bit harder to troubleshoot. I was able to locate the thread displaying the lowbeam fuses and those were also out. All taken care of though, thanks again!
