Is there more than 1 fusebox on an E36? Reason I ask is the headlights on my '95 328i dont work. Full beam/flash and sidelights are fine, but no main headlights confused

I've checked the fusebox in the back right corner of the engine bay, checked the bulbs and checked the switch in the cabin, and all seem ok, which is why I'm wondering if there's a 2nd fusebox somewhere??

Or does anyone know what else it could be? Maybe a common fault with E36's??

Cheers
Ed

Swap the first pale green relay (above pale green)over with the second orange one (above grey ABS)

the green one is the horn relay, and the second orange one is the dipped lights (colours may vary though) and see if the headlights works and the horn stops.
