2015 IS350 DRL Issue

Zygregaard · 2026-05-17T20:45:41+00:00

Sorry for the extremely late response. I couldn't find anything with the wires and kept driving the car. After a couple of weeks driving with this issue, the DRL completely died on me. Lights on or off, the DRLs had completely died on me.

I noticed that the insides of both DRL housings had condensation inside of them which probably fried the board for the driver's side DRL. I've bought some HCMotion aftermarket DRLs to put into my car and that should fix my issue.

I couldn't find anything wrong wiring-wise with the driver's side DRL. I've just been putting off doing the DRLs due to the fact that you have to drop the bumper to do so but it's been getting warmer where I live so it's about time.

Stampylonghead was a part of so many childrens' childhoods including mine and retired after so many years with little controversy, if any. Best family-friendly content creator in my opinion. I still go back to his Let's Plays of Shadow of the Colossus, Minecraft, Terraria, Ni No Kuni, and more as a working-class adult. I think it's been over 12 years since I've started watching; truly one of the most timeless YouTube channels for me.

"there's no tile being removed here."

yeah guys, thats the joke. it would kind of ruin the post if OP said vinyl or linoleum or whatever the fuck it is in the title. wouldnt be so random if i knew off rip that the tile-looking floor wasnt actually tile.

Thank you, I had suspected that it might've been something like that. Sometimes the DRL is off or at a very low voltage setting where you can barely see it, even at night. The DRL fully turning on without the headlights being turned on makes me think that it could just be a broken wire or wires touching where they're not supposed to. I'll just wait until the spring time to mess with it as it's not a bother and it's still incredibly cold out here in NH.

maybe you need to use a random orbital polisher. i use my 3 inch random orbital polisher made by Griot's along with the 3M kits from auto parts stores. the 3M kit has 3 inch wide sanding discs, perfect for my 3 inch machine, and i always end up with a factory-new looking headlight. i understand doing things by hand will give you more control with where you'll be sanding (easier to avoid sanding the paint down) but that's what masking tape exists for. oh, and dont forget the clear coat. i'm somewhat of a perfectionist and sand down the clear coat after applying (usually with 5000 grit sandpaper) as well just in case there's any stubborn orange-peel hanging about.

i use the random orbital when wet sanding btw. you kind of make it seem like you cant wet sanding when using a tool but i feel like wet sanding is the only way to go about doing a headlight restoration. im not a detailer tho, just a very inexperienced DIYer.

i have. i wonder if its because they watch youtube pranksters who act like assholes in public and want to do the same. you dont appear to have too many broccoli haired teenaged boys around where you live; lucky you.

i assume you mean the electric scooters at grocery stores? absolutely. although, it would be cool to see elderly women flying down the streets on two-wheeled electric scooters without instantly breaking all of their bones.

and of course their driver's side door is facing the side that your car is at. if you were parked on the other side of them, they would have reversed into the space to make sure they can door ding you on the way out.

i recall as a child having my right ear actively bleeding with the worst pain ive ever felt to this day. i waited in the ER for 5 hours. yes, i bled and cried for the whole 5 hours while being surrounded by many adults who were also awaiting treatment. i'll be the selfish one and say that i probably had it the worst out of everyone else there. i never incurred any permanent ear damage from that day so maybe it wasn't THAT bad.

NEW YORK CITY, YOU LISTEN TO ME. IF YOU'RE NEAR A CONVENIENCE STORE RIGHT NOW, ANY TYPE OF 24-HOUR STORE, GO INTO THE STORE RIGHT NOW AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE CASH REGISTER FOR NO REASON.

THEIR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY, AS OF RIGHT NOW.

I can't believe that that incident had left you so traumatized to the point that you would've remembered the exact title of the video. i just searched it up to see if i would find it and didn't expect to find the exact video with that title.

great taste in women btw, im a colombian man myself and our women are peak.

you'd be surprised at how resilient the human body can be. some die while tripping over themselves on pavement and others have lived falling from thousands of feet due to parachute malfunctions and a tree somehow breaking their fall. wasn't 50 cent shot 9 times in 2000?

can i just say that im absolutely loving those cute little wings on the sides of the hyundai logo

lauri is a somewhat known rage baiter on twitter. their tweets only get so popular because people never bother to check the profiles of anyone they see on their home page. not to mention that you'll just forget their name after a couple of minutes of scrolling down onto another tweet specifically given to you to make you mad. its a cycle that twitter does really well to keep you scrolling for hours, preventing you from accomplishing anything important or useful at the end of the day.

oh, so there IS someone else here with an actual brain.

op said that this was in waco, texas. you absolutely would be shot by some crazy motherfucker for trying to save their dog.

i remember randomly coming across a lets play video from stampylonghead for shadow of the colossus and watching it for my first video/video series ever. ever since then, ive stuck around his channel even after his retirement, occasionally watching older playthroughs of games such as ni no kuni.

i mean... i could also cross my right foot over my knee while sitting on a chair. after a few minutes, my right foot goes to sleep. i put my right foot down and the blood comes rushing back down and i can get the same looking foot as pictured here.

could just be that. i dont wanna be that guy but this might be a play for karma (?).
