Default Driver side LED running light burned out

I have 39K on my '16 Accord (EX-L) and just observed the inside LED running light on the driver side is not on. Is this an easy to replace item?

I reached out to my sales person from 1 yr and 3 months ago to explain what has happened to see if he can get this replaced under warranty. I am afraid that he will not be able to do it.

I find it very displeasing to find something to go bad so quickly.

Has anyone else experienced this?



Thanks in advance,
Mike

The LED DRL is part of the headlight assembly.

If you have a voltmeter, you can test that there is power to the left DRL connector. There is a 3P connector with 2 red wires and 1 black wire. Both red wire terminals should have power when the DRL are on. The black wire is for ground. -- But, most likely it is a faulty LED DRL.



If it is faulty, the headlight would be replaced.

The front bumper is removed first, then the headlight can be removed.

Step # 12 - 15 of these fog light install instructions are to remove the front bumper:

This video then shows how to remove the headlight:

Thanks for the info. I am quite disappointed that after 1 yr 4 months, this light went out. I went to my local dealer and they are working with regional reps to try to get it replaced under warranty still.
