Default Headlight help

I have a 2007 Jaguar XK my front passenger headlight works fine and the directional bulb works also but the all the bulbs inside the headlight do not my daylight running bulb is not working and my directional cornering light is not working is there a separate fuse for this, when I opened up the headlight the wires inside all frayed in the metal was exposed, two wires with touching so I figured this had to short out somewhere along the line I haven't had any luck looking for a fuse that just handles these couple of Lights thanks

You'll need to take the lens off and repair the wiring. The UV exposure from the lamp is hard on the wiring covering. Download the free service and wiring manuals to help figure out what fuses feed what circuits. Good luck with it.

Put it in the Oven! Seriously. Low setting for a couple hours.

Has anyone ever seen oxidation on the INSIDE of the lens? My headlights are a bit foggy, and it looks like I can see some bubbling on the inside of the lens.

Considering using a restoring kit on both sides of the lens, but I don't see many others having had to do this before.

Give it a go on the outside first. Mine looked like some of it was on the inside but turns out it was all on the outside.
