DRL burned out on the passenger side. Estimate from the dealer was $1100.00 to replace both. (remove bumper etc.) I did it myself by reaching in and feeling for the lamp end. It was a flag shape, and with a lot of strange movements of my wrist, I was able to get it out, put in ZEVO L E D bulb and put it back in. What took the longest was I was trying to reach too far down on the headlight housing. Reach immediately when your fingers get below the large round cap and you'll find it too.
