Driver side drl and eyebrow stopped working a few days ago. Looked on YouTube and google everywhere and couldn't find a video or article showing how to replace it yourself without having to buy the whole headlight. Possibly a fuse?

The DRL's have their own fuses, the one for the LH side is #73 in the Fuse and Relay Box (not the IPDM). You can find the box layout on PG-199 here:

The wiring diagram and other info for the DRL system can be found here:

The DRL's are integral and can't be serviced, you need to buy a whole headlight assembly if they're faulty. If the fuse is good, check for power at the Gray wire in the pin-1 position of the headlight connector. If it has power then the lamps are bad. If it doesn't then post back and I'll help you with checking the IPDM and wiring.

The DRL's .........

Excellent reply!

If you are good working on electronics you could bake the headlight and separate the lens from the base to get access to the interior. If the issue is internal you would have access to repair it. There are many who modify and sell these headlights so it's possible to fix.

Me? Nah, too much work. I'd just replace it assuming wiring and fuses were OK. They are not cheap tho, so I would try and get a used OEM.
