I can’t seem to find the fuse for the headlights in my 91 sentra. I found the fuse links under the hood, but no fuses.

If you get a manual specifically for your car it will show you where everything is and how to change it. You can order them through any auto store.

Headlights are not fused. They use a circuit breaker that automatically resets if overloaded… This breaker is usually on or near the fuse block, but not always. Sometimes it’s part of the headlight switch…

This used to always be true, but no more. Many are fused now, instead of the circuit breakers. I guess it saves a few cents. I don’t know if this particular model is fused or not.
