Daytime Running Light (DRL) Malfunctions — Temporary Fixes Until You’re Back in SG MyMechanic
Common Causes of DRL Malfunctions
While these typically require proper fixes at home, there are
safe steps to manage the issue en route.
Blown bulb or LED failure.
Loose wiring or connections.
Faulty DRL control module.
Moisture inside the headlamp unit.
Switch to low-beam headlights: Maintain daytime visibility when
DRLs are down.
Check fuses and relays: A blown fuse can be a quick fix if you
know the layout and have spares.
Manual override (if equipped): Some cars allow DRL toggling or
reset via settings; a reset may restore function temporarily.
Clean the light housing: Remove dirt or moisture haze that can
make DRLs appear dim.
Visibility matters on highways and rural roads.
Faulty lights can draw attention at checks; staying visible is
safer for all.
