Headlights not working

Hey, i had my car (2012 model) parked for 2 weeks in winter and apparently a moisture went into both headlights. On the right one a low beam stopped working but DRL still works, on the left one its vice versa - DRL stopped working but low beam works. I took both headlights off and dried them, then swapped TMS modules thinking they were faulty but it didn’t change anything. Checked a DRL modules and they also look fine. Any idea what could cause this problem? Does these cars have a fuse for headlights that might be blown?

What type of headlight do you have? Adaptive Xenon?

Checked with scanner and is says that there is a short circuit with footwell module, will check the FRM module tomorrow to see if it really is the issue. Have your both headlights stopped working or is it single?

To replace TMS, you need to recode or reinitialize.
