DRL went yellow

Just noticed that the passenger side DRL went yellow I am guessing that the led module for the DRL went bad and needs a replacement?

It's the tip of the light guide which gets burnt. If under warranty, back to the dealer. If not there are several videos on removing the bumper and the lamp housing and then filing off the burnt tip. Quite a faff, which some say works well

Yeah, known, common issue. Thank god I haven't experienced it yet. I have watched all the videos. It's more of a bad connection caused by corrosion that can be cleaned up. The headlights are literally the only thing not covered by my extended warranty (Route 66). Fingers crossed.
