Need help asap. City ligths dont work

Hello everybody,
I was switching the power supply for my angel eyes today that are connected to my city lights and the two wires positive and negative touched each other and my city ligths were on by accident. I know im an idiot but now all the city lights in the front not working. Headligths and taillights work fine just front city lights not. Anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Chances are the fuse blew, if there is one for the city light. I would check the manual for which fuses which could be for city lightst and check them.

I believe you short circuited your city light. I am not close to the manual but there are three fuse boxes in the car, look around the battery area

The City Light or Parking Lamp fuse is apparently #52 in the IPDM E/R Module which is between the battery and the right fender. It's not a clear fuse box since it has several connectors in it as well. By just touching the live wire even for a moment you would have blown that fuse.

here's a useful info about where the clearance light fuse is at. you can't see the box without removing a few parts and battery.

Yeah I just checked the spot between the battery and the fender and I see another box there I think that's the one that has more fuses there but I have to get the cover newt to the windshield off to get there and since it's pooring now I have to wait till tomorrow. I will do it tomorrow morning first thing

So today while i was at work on lunch I was looking for 3rd fuse box and i found it. Like you guys said its located on the side of the battery and you get there you have to take the battery cover off and the surrounding covers then you can unclip the fuse box and pull it up. After I pulled it up i was able to open it and found the fuse that blew. It takes about 10 min to take everyhting apart and change the fuse plus putting everyhting together.
Thanks a lot for your input guys it really helped a lot.
