How do you fix drl can you get new bulbs or do you need to buy a new headlight all together?

I believe you will need to replace the entire headlight. You can probably fix it, but it will require opening up the housing.

Is the headlight set to drl off?
Did you put the car in drive? At startup drl only turns on when to shift out of park during the day, I think into drive only, at least for 2013-2015.

So if your car is in park and you turn it on during the day the drl's will be off by default. If that's the case you might think it's broken when it's not.

If the problem is only with one of the headlights then you would have to replace the entire housing. I have a spare drivers housing I am willing to sell if you need the LH side.
