I just realized my reply wasn't very good so I schlepped out to the car and popped the hood for a look see .
The high beam fuses are #'s 7 & 8 .
The Low beam fuses are #'s 11 & 13
To replace them all , you'll need 10 Ea. 8 ampere fuses , these will be white or maybe black , it depends on the brand , either is good as long as the strips are yellow in color .
GRAY / SILVER COLORED FUSES ARE JUNK AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED AND DISCARDED ! .
5 Ea. 16 ampere fuses , these will be red in color .
1 Ea. 25 Ampere fuse , plus one spare , this will be blue in color .
At each end of the fuse box are two spare fuses , I carry one blue , two red and one white one plus more in the ash tray even though I never seem to need them , someone always does when I meet old German car / Moto / truck folks out on the road .
The cover is held in place by two knurled knobs , spin them until they're loose & wobbly then lift the cover with knobs carefully , it will come out sans force once you figure out the " Just So " angle necessary .
When replacing the cover , there are two electrical cables you'll need to lift *just enough* to clear the cover as you gently lower it into place then you'll need to wriggle it thisa-way and that before it drops into place , position it so the clean paint isn't visible around the edges and snug up the knobs .
NO FORCE IS NECESSARY ! if you use force , you'll break it as it's delicate bakelite .
If you decide to replace the old silver / gray colored fuses , first disconnect the negative battery cable and tuck it down beside the battery .
Once all the fuses are out , use a toothbrush sized wire brush to gently clean the blades in the fusebox of corrosion .
I hope this helps .
