Has anyone lost both DRLs within days of each other? They were both changed at the dealer about 1 year apart when they first went out and the last one was 6 months ago.

Could there be a short somewhere or just a coincidence?

Any help would be appreciated.

Mine are still going strong with the original lamps in there. You sure they didnt just fit cheap lamps that have now blown?

I just had my left DRL blow out yesterday! I was going to take a look and see if I can replace the bulb myself, but might just take it to the dealer after work today. It should be covered under warranty, correct?

Not sure what they pit in. I have made an appointment for the dealer to check it out.

You can try, but from what I have read you must take out the whole light assembly to get to the light bulb. Yes it is covered under warranty until 50k, but both of mine were replaced prior to 50k. I will see what I can do if I can get them to replace the bulbs free of charge since they both went out so quickly.
