I have quads and I lost power to the driver side headlights (high/low) this morning. Is there a fuse or relay ? Or is it TIPM like the 3gens ?

I think it's a tipm v2 in the new trucks. I can't imagine they'd go back to relays.

I'm starting to think I may have a wiring problem at the light cause I lost both high and low at the same time and if I'm understanding how this crap works then Each light should be on its own circuit so I. Hoping for a lose plug or bad wires at the light.

It's quite common for the pins to be loose in the green connector that goes to the headlight assembly. I've replaced quite a few connectors for that issue. Remove the headlight assembly and wiggle that connector. Chances are the light will start working.

Problem solved. It was a bad pigtail on my aftermarket lights.
I cut the OEM one off my original light soldered, heat shrink and taped

Aftermarket one had a bad pin in it
