Drivers Side DRL Out

Anyone have a Daytime Running Light in the headlight stop working? Two weeks old with 600 miles and my drivers side went dead. Comes on for a fraction of a second when it's supposed to then goes out and stays off. I have a appointment with dealer next week, but just curious if anyone else has experienced this issue.

Sounds like a failing component. We all have them. Just a matter of when! So many parts on cars it's amazing we don't have more issues honestly.

I agree. When electronic components fail, they go early. Still disappointing on a brand new Vette.

I had the same thing after about 3 months on my '21 Coupe bought new in August 2021. Replaced headlight and no issues since.

Thanks. I also read of two other examples, but the headlight control module card (there is one for each side) was replaced and it fixed the problem. I'm hoping the headlight doesn't need replacement only because I believe that involves removing the front fascia which currently fits perfectly.
