Daytime running light

ok so i had a DRL out

replaced the bulb with same make/model as before now neither come on
replaced fuse even though it was not out still no drl
headlights and brights work fine

thinking next step is the relay unless someone here has a better idea, unless there is a reason why i need to replace both when one is out?

DRL control unit is where I would start my testing.

Last one I saw needed everything on the circuit board resoldered. Easy if you can solder.

Re: Daytime running light

When I had my 2003 I had to resolder the circuit board. It was an easy fix. An alternative may be to get a used unit.
