OEM driving lights fuse

I just replaced one of my driving lights (destroyed by a stone on the highway). I must have crossed the wire and now have no energy to the system. I'm assuming I blew the fuse.

Where is the fuse? The install PDF looks like its in the driver footwell. Anyone know where? also is there a trick to gaining access to all the stuff in the footwell. what panels need to come out? how do you get them out?

Help PLEASE

Ok folks, 74 looks... no one has installed the OEM driving lights and has a tip on how to gain access to the fuse?

I hate to start ripping apart dash and footwell liner bits if there is a simple way to do this.

Sorry, I don't have a clue which fuse controls the driving lights but my interior fuses are under a panel on the right side of the passenger foot well. The panel just pops out and there's a diagram on the backside of the panel showing the function of all the fuses.

thanks, I can see in the install instructions that the driving lights have a fuse as part of their wiring bundle. It appears to be up under the dash above the driver footwell... not as part of the interior fusebox. Was looking for insights on how to easily get up into that area. My initial attempt was very awkward with what appears to be very tight and inconvenient access. I was also unable to find the bundle. Was looking for some insight and instruction on where to find the bundle and how to (hopefully) easily access the fuse.

On my 07, the OEM driving light fuse is sticking up to the left of the dead pedal, just barely above the plastic so it's visible. Maybe they left yours underneath this panel.
