Replacement Headlights - Platinum

[WhitePlatGuy]

Hi all! New here, I've enjoyed reading through the forum for the past few days.

Hopefully picking up a '22 Platinum tomorrow, and in one of the dealer's pictures to me (truck was shipped from Georgia to Alabama, haven't seen it in person yet) I noticed the driver side DRL looking dim/out (picture attached). I've heard this is a real issues on the 21-23's. What has everyone been doing when this happens?

I know I could probably find an OEM replacement on eBay, but won't that just be a bandaid? Is there a viable and reliable aftermarket OEM-style replacement? All the aftermarket ones I'm seeing have blacked out housings or sketchy reviews. I'd like to stay as close to OEM-looking as possible, but if ultimately there is nothing - I guess I'll get the dealer to replace it or snag one off eBay.

By the way, coming from a 2015 Platinum. Absolutely loved my '15. Never had any issues, just wanted a little technology upgrade.

Thanks for having me!

Wow first time I have seen the high end led fail… I would get the dealer to replace as they are bloody expensive.

I wouldn’t buy one from eBay it’s a gamble at least for me.
I’d push for the dealer to replace it in making the deal.
I’ve purchased a set of headlight assembly’s for my wife’s 2013 Honda Accord Sedan from a local company called CertiFit which worked out great for me. Gave my VIN # and bought a pair. Her lenses were clouded over even after a couple attempts at restoring them.
Do a search for CertiFit in your area.
Good luck

The DRL lights are actually flickering at a really high speed and sometimes cameras capture them when they are "off", it looks like that light is perfectly fine
