Question 2008 Civic - DRL indicator on panel is off?

The DRLs on my wife's 2008 Civic work, that is, they come on. However, the idiot light on the equipment panel that indicates they are activated is off. What could be the problem? Fuse burned out? Which fuse? Thanks.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

The idiot light that says DRL should NOT be on.
It is a warning light, it comes on if one/both of the high beam bulbs is burned out.

The only thing you should see on the dash when the DRLs are on, is the blue high beam indicator glowing dimly.

I think the owners manual can explain this further.

IIRC, certain markets use 2 indicators. Like the fog symbol upside down or similar.

Not likely any fuse, and also likely it uses LED to illuminate,
