When you open the passeger side door you will see a cover for the fuse panel on the right side of the dash board. On the back of the cover is a list of all the fuse circuits. There is also a fuse block in the engine compartment mounted on the driver's side wheel well behind the windshield washer reservoir. It may be in there labeled "parking lights". Your owner's manual contains all this information. Don't have one then get one. Dealer, salvage yard, E-Bay, or a Google Search are sources.
