hey guys! if you guys ever pop a fuse for the clearance lights, fogs, hids! etc! don't freak out because you can't find the fuse! there is a third fuse box hidden inside the battery box. the manual doesn't say it's there also! it's a PITA to get to though. you'll have to completely remove the battery and to the left there's a black box and that's where most of the fuses are. i got lucky to find it! thanks to myself for dropping a fuse inside and had to remove the battery to get it back out. stupid design!

yeah the 1st gens had that fuse box there too. alot of important fuses in there.

you dont have to remove the batt though, just the plastic shroud attached to the window which is mad easy to remove.

is this the same box we're talking about? this is a really big rectangular box not the little box that you see when you open the battery box cover

yep same one, if you just take all the plastic covers off, full battery cover, and windshield deflector, you can easily get to it. Its behind the battery mounted to the firewall.

that's probably for the 35's! i tried to pull box upwards only to find out the wire hardness is not long enough to pull up. only to the sides of the battery. maybe i'm an idiot!

yea fuses are hidden back there but they dont care to tell people since fuses are warrantied if non aftermarket parts aren't in the car.
