DRL issues....

So my daytime running lights aren't working and the DRL light is on, on my dash. since both went out at the same time im wondering if its the fuse but i cannot find the fuse anywhere. if its under "small light" then its not the fuse... im not sure why it would even get blown cause i swapped them out with 15v led lights.

The day they went out i was in the parking garage at work and saw them kind of flickering against the wall. so by the time i drove home they were dead. i use the lights to gauge how close i am to the wall in the garage so i know when to stop.

im not really sure what else to look for. im pretty sure its not the LEDs cause what are the chances they both would die at the exact same time... could be a wiring issue but i dont see why since i never touch them. any help would be appreciated.

There is a good chance one bulb has either failed or lost contact. if one goes out they both stop working .. happened to me with a bulb that had a poor contact tip.

This is good to know. I noticed that my DRL indicator came on yesterday. I went to the Dealer today to get a new key FOB and asked about the DRL's. They said they looked at it but would need to charge me a shop fee to "really dig into it". I hope they are just a bunch of D-bag liars and that I just need to replace the lights.

IF you haven't already I would suggest you buy this

I got it when I swapped out my DRl's with LED's, You will still get the DRL light on the dash but this might solve your problem
