Kudos to Darkbrew. I finally got my relays from Mouser. They were back ordered for over a month, but I finally got them. I bought 10 like you suggested.

I replaced the two relays on the DRL module, and I also had to replace my driver side high beam H9 bulb. The one burnt out bulb prevented either lights to come on in DRL mode. So after over a year of driving around without DRLs, they're working again!

If anybody in BC needs some relays, let me know....

You could have probably replaced the high beam bulb without replacing the DRL modules and it would have fixed it.

Yes I did, but I had already taken it all apart once before long ago. I reheated the solder joints on the relays in case they had cold solder joints. Great DIY.

No, I had replaced the bulb once already when I resoldered the relay solder points and it didn't fix the problem. If anything, the relays might be burning out the bulbs when they start to go.
