Looking at a generic wiring diagram for the '94 - '97 generation, it
seems both the low beams and the high beams have relays, both located in
the under-hood fuse box.

To the OP: Are you sure your high beams are still working? According to
the wiring diagram, the high beam relay is connected in series with the
low beam relay, so if the low beam relay should fail, you would loose
both low and high beams (including the blue high beam indicator light in
the instrument panel).

I don't find any path in the wiring diagram that is shared between left
and right low beam without also being shared with the high beams.
