Arrow daytime running light dont work

my right running light has been on and off!! when i turn on the daytime running light, the right one would be off most of the time...but some times it would be on for couple days, then off again...

I know it's a small problem, but it bothers me alot....after all, i want my S to be perfect

So does anyone know a body shop that good at electric stuff??? I asked the dealer and they told me it costs $120 just to check it...

thank you

how'd you get DRL's? did you install it yourself?

In any case you could try replacing the fuse, its a 10 fuse above the ECU reset 7.5 fuse.

yea how did you get running lights....my guess is either fuse....or loose/bad wire... could also be the bulb...have you tried swapping the bulbs and see if the problem switches?

Do you mean your parking lamps? Either way, why not try changing the bulb and see what happens. My dads CRV had the problem where when he turned on his parking lights one of the lights on the rear would be on for a day or so then turn off. Changed the bulb and it stopped. Also could be a bad connection/wire.

you can just turn the well in/out to get to the bulb. If your car is lowered you might want to jack the car up when you do this or remove the wheel
