Front passenger LED strip went out..

[Ford Guy]

Hello. Please help. Noticed the front passenger LED DRL (white strip) is out on my 2021 ST. What do I do? Is it a bulb. Do I need an entire new headlight? Any help is appreciated and sorry if theres a thread already in place regarding this.
Tks in advance.

I believe you will need to replace the whole headlight assembly. The cost is over $1,000 unless your covered under a warranty. You may want to leave it alone until the headlight goes out. just a thought.

Wow. I thought it was just a bulb replacement or at least hoped. That sucks.

Isn't there an aftermarket option for way cheaper?

Check local junk yards if you need a replacement.

But I would consider checking and cleaning all contacts, and wires, before doing that.
If you can get it out and plug it into the other headlight pigtail, it might eliminate wiring questions from its original position.

Oddly enough, I went back to check the light as night fell. I unlocked the doors and the light was still out. I opened the door and turned the light dial and the drl strip came on? Wth...now it's working again. Sounds like a wiring issue?

Has to be a wiring issue. Also, another alternative since Ford only sells complete assemblies, is to get this DRL RGB kit and bake open your headlights and replace the DRLs with these aftermarket ones. Plus they’ll look cool.

Any chance it was a fluke? You know how pesky those fish are.

But seriously. If this is the first time and stays stable for a week or more, just let it go and see.
Those cables are a biotch to get to.
One is under the apim on passenger side. Driver side not as bad but….
