Default Head Light Drl Issue

Sup Guys,

I had a hole in my headlight which leaked water in the headlight, I have sealed the hole but is there any chance of the Drl getting to work done how or should I consider getting a new one.

Im asking because I want to retrofit my projectors. Btw its a 2011 ISF Hid.




Is the Drl Fixable or I should purchase a new one?

Anything is repairable but with these headlights, you're better off getting a cheaper replacement for both sides in the meantime, while you take apart the old ones to retrofit.

I had a similar issue a while back when running LED bulbs for high beams with no backside cover on it due to the size/space. Moisture got in and caused the entire LED strip to stop working. I used some silica gel packs where the bulbs plug in and parked it in the sun to help the moisture turn to vapor and get absorbed from the pack and everything worked fine afterwards. I made sure to have all openings closed and it has not been an issue since and no residual condensation. 2011 HID as well.
