Default Help drl light keep blowing

Hi I need help I have the V-led drl led but for some reason my right side keep blowing... At first it will light up fine then eventually the bulb gets really dim then not work.. And all this will happen within a month. Could it be a fuse issue?

The purpose of a fuse is to protect components, so you can rule that out as a cause. Does the bulb actually blow and is no longer usable? Or does it just go out momentarily, but will eventually power back on again?

I'm having the same problem, some members were saying it was an install error, so i took it apart and everything looks correct. I'm most likely getting my drl turned off.

I guess this is the reason why i kept my life simple and just simply had Lexus turn my DRLs off so i wouldn't have to deal with the yellowish light nor any of these kind of issues which i juuust hate
