Locating the flasher relay switch on a 96 tl?

The bulbs on my headlights are all fine, but when I turn on the blinkers, the blinker inside the car work, and the lower fog lights blink, but the main ones won't work. I talked to some people and figured the issue was the flasher relay, so I went ahead and got one from AutoZone. Now that I have the part, I can't find where the relay switch goes. I have looked everywhere under the drivers side dash and can't find the relay. Here is a link to the exact part I got, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

I've checked all the bulbs. All the lights work just fine.

Are you sure it's even supposed to blink? Looks like a parking light to me
