How to fix a Burnt out LED DRL for under $20

I know this is a common problem on many GM vehicles, but the same concept applies for other manufacturers. I was annoyed when my DRL burnt out and it looked like the car was winking. After researching on forums and seeing everyone's response was to replace the headlight I figured I would look into it more myself. This module is only $15 used on eBay - they are more expensive new (~$40 I think). I bet the people that replaced their headlights knew about this first!

Thank you so much man, I have Audi S4 and I bought the wrong part and just watching your videos I figured out that it was the same problem with daytime running headlights, because of your video I figured it out. Thank you

Thank you bro I appreciate it!

Hello, could this help to fix a yellowish and dimmed day light in an Audi A3 2017 ?

[@_d3ras_479]

What exactly did you sertch up on eBay to find that part

[@93DCristo]

ANY LINK WHERE I CAN GET THAT ITEM BRO!? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@thebeast5571]

Did the DRL just go out or the whole headlight bulbs and turn signal. My DRL just went out but the rest work.

[@nevlinandreas1201]

What about the DRL the one on the from bumper? Where to check the fuse?

[@hafiz198022]

Hi can you help me with my spec d headlight for lexus is250 the drl don't work anymore. Thanks 😊

[@Mr.Scorpio79]

Will this work in an Acura headlight as well? People at the dealership don’t have a clue!

[@asadbakhtiar7998]

Would this type of fix work on tesla MS 2017?

[@3x3mm]

Ty hoping it's an $15 easy fix on my 2019 Camaro 1SS bc 1k is insanity.

[@betos3108]

Did u get ur drl right?

[@2ssCesar]

Did u get it to work my whole light went off too

[@rudyescalera7164]

I have 2019 ss and it just stopped working the right side . Let me know if this fixed your 2019

[@tristinlinley2910]

Did it work???

[@Chevylaluz]

Will this work for 2019 with the refreshed headlights?

[@MaahinH]

I think I need to do this on my Audi, if I change the control module will it have to be programmed? I was also thinking to check if it is the problem by taking out the control module on the working side and fitting it on the other side - will that mess up the programming?

[@fullyduppy8294]

Let me know how you got on as I’m having the same problem with my Audi A3

[@wisenoble3425]

Is it the same for a 2018 dodge charger

[@carlos62754]

What was the exact search on eBay or part number...? For that light board.

[@PedroGonzalez02]

Did you ever find the part?

[@giovaniolivares7]

How do I look it up on ebay?? There’s an exact name for that peace??

[@GeneralS0113]

Dont you need to change the led strip?

[@amazingmarketplace8302]

the inside of my light got water in it. The light intermittently works but as of today is completely off. Do you think it’ll come back on when it dries? What would need to be fixed if not? What part would need to be replaced? Please help

[@santimc7430]

Same, please tell me if you found a solution

[@IamRayne1992]

You should put new sealant around your light before replacing the board. Should work fine after.

[@GotslillZ]

Think it's the same thing with Chrysler 300?

[@degs7693]

Hey ! I have an Audi A4 B8.5 and my drivers side DRL is more yellowish compare to left one which is white. I wonder if your method could fix that ? Like with "Burnt out" did you meant completely not working LED DRL or just yellowish ? Thanks

[@arnold17]

Did you find a solution? I'm running into the same problem with my B8.5. It was in an accident and was repaired, but the headlight on that side has turned yellowish. A new headlight with AFS can easily runs 1k+ and I'm not ready to dump that much into fixing it yet.

[@degs7693]

@@arnold17 Hey ;) No I don't think you can fix this issue unless buying a new headlight. Where I live I see many Audi's having his issue. Anyway I recently sold my B8.5 and got mercedes w205 which doesn't have this problems.

[@ugajjones]

What is the name of the item to search for?

[@tanklergaming103]

They go out for a reason. And this fix will hit a lot of garage’s daily pocket change.

[@venomous4479]

When it went out did your drls not come on at all during daytime ?

[@betos3108]

Did u ever find out what to do

[@danrez42]

What about a GEN five LED light?

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Outstanding! Good Ol Ebay! They have parts that are Nowhere else! Thanks!

[@betos3108]

Did u have to reprogrammed or just plug and play

[@Koolyhing]

What did you search up??

[@JJDaCool1]

Dang i wish it was this easy for 10th gen Impalas halo dealership says to replace whole headlamp

[@TheRealSulz]

Hi bro I’ve had something similar happen to my Audi s3 66plate day time running light the lower portion of the day time running light has turned yellowish. I don’t want to spend a 1k just to get a new headlight

[@Fastcarz165]

Get the modules for the light and change that should be fine after

[@TheRealSulz]

@@Fastcarz165 thank you Anna I really hope this works going to order the parts online.

[@MrDutchentre]

I have one burnt out on the exact same Audi Q5 that is behind you in your driveway. Same fix for that?

[@MichiganMuscle]

I would assume so, yes

[@jamessmall3387]

Not true all Camaro headlights. Only the cheap headlights have the module underneath.

[@1999StangGT4]

What you’re failing to add, is your time taking apart the front of the car just to get through the headlight and then reassembling. That’s worth money as well.

[@MrManiac2591]

You don't have to dissemble to get to the headlight 😂, talking 2 mins max prep

[@1999StangGT4]

Look up the video of the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, where the guy has to take the bumper off I don’t have the number of it but he has to take the entire bumper off to get to the headlight. And this was at a dealer.@@MrManiac2591

[@danrez42]

I’ve got to take the whole nose in my car off to change your headlight

[@thehexpro2429]

I wish I knew what the fuck I had to look for specifically

[@bizzle1002]

It's the DRL ballast

[@MrDutchentre]

Are you saying that that is what the part he is describing is? I was told by a reputable independent repair shop that that module controlled the entire headlight on my 2018 Audi Q5. They told me I had to replace the entire headlight which was going to cost me $1500. I’m not sure what to believe.

[@bizzle1002]

@MrDutchentre the ballast behind your fog light is the sa the 1 attached to the bottom of your head light,I removed my bumper which was easier than I thought it would be to take the headlight out and sure enough their it was attached at the bottom.( I ordered the part from Amazon for 12.95). My eyebrow is working fine now the old one had corrosion around the plug . Easy and cheap fix I promise. The dealership quoted me 1500 to fix it.

[@Kh3m1kal4k1llah]

Wow

[@Gimbergp]

your title is misleading asf bruh

[@MrManiac2591]

Not remotely 😂, spot on tbh
