HELP: Left headlight out due to water

I was washing my car and during the event, the plastic cap came off of the housing, therefore getting water inside the headlight. I've checked EVERYTHING. Where is the fuse/relay for the left headlight located? I'm not getting power to the connector attached to the green wires that plugs into the module. Also, there is condensation in the headlight housing itself. You can see it from the front of the car.

If I take a hair dryer on low temp/speed, and hold it far away, do you think once it dries out, it will work? That, plus find a fuse/relay(if anyone knows where they're located) is my last two options.

Thanks!

If you open the drivers door. Look at the end of the dash. Pop that panel off, kind of triangle shaped. Behind it are some fuses, also a fuse chart.

I did that. Nothing to do with headlights. Are they on a relay?

Driver side xenon no power

What was the solution I am having a very similar problem. I am not getting any power to the ballast on the driver side. I switched the ballast and bulb to the passenger side and it worked fine. Is there a fuse or something thanks!
