    The problem may be a blown fuse or a bad ground.

    do you have a diaagram on the fuse location for the 3.6 for the headlites because some say its in the trunk others say its under the hood.

    You're correct. The fuse locations in the diagram are for cars with HID headlights. Your Challenger, apparently, does not have them. Sorry I can't help you further.

    Being a fairly new car I can't imagine it would not be much more than a fuse or relay. Now that said if you bought the vehicle used and it was in a accident, maybe something is not plugged in fully. Your owners manual will give the location of the fuses, if you don't have a manual, you can download it.

    The headlight relay is located in the fuse box on the passenger side of the engine bay. Watch this video. Start at the 1:28 min. mark.
