i3 Daytime Running light

Does any i3 owners had any issues with their DRL? I have a 2016 i3 and the passenger DRL is out. Anyone have any tips or advice on repair? Or is it just a complete headlight assembly replacement ? Any response is greatly appreciated.

Wow I'm surprised a 2016 would have a DRL issue so soon!

Then again I saw a new X7 with a DRL out.

Their is a small aluminum module back their behind the light with the DRL LED's if the led is dead you can replace the module, their cheap off eBay and you can just buy it and replace it.

Wagonus, did your running light issue get resolved by swapping the LED module (ballast)? I'm having the same issue here with running light out on 2016.

X5NV, sorry to hear that your light went out. I got the part from eBay, but i did not get around to installing it. Work has been overwhelming as we are coming to the end of the year. Will keep you posted if I make any progress.

We're lucky to have moved on from old-school 1960's sealed beam incandescent bulbs! The only way that we get those intelligent headlight systems is to watch them on YouTube.....
