Angry 2011 & 2012 - DRL comes up often, normal?

I was just wondering if anyone or if everyone has this issue with their 2011 & 2012 Acura MDX - The DRL lights comes up often, at least once a year, on both my MDXs. I am not sure why and was wondering the cost of replacement, if anyone knows what the deal charges. Thanks.

I get this almost every year...is this normal? thanks.

I only had my driver's side DRL burn out about 4 years ago on my 11 MDX. I just replaced that bulb and been good ever since.

I would, but I am only good with network and computer equipment. If I touch anything in my car it costs me twice as much....but thanks.

It should not be burning out yearly. I had the passenger side DRL go out in Feb 2021. I replaced both bulbs and also replaced the housing due to a crack lens.

I bought the MDX in 2014 and went 6+ years with no issues with the bulbs.

Thanks everyone, I went to a trusted auto mechanic and it was very reasonable to replace the blub with a NEW one.
