2014 GL350 DRLs Flickering, Need Help!

Hi everyone, thankyou for your input on my Flickering DRLs

How I think they are suppose to work, Switch in Auto, Super Bright in the Daytime, when Headlights and Park Lights come on at night, they dim to a lower intensity

What mine do, Switch in Auto, flicker and pulse erratically like a police car, looks super cool, but not cool... haha
When head lights and park lights come on at night, everything looks as it should, with DRLs at lower intensity

I have removed the Light from the bumper, i get the Check DRL Code on dash, that goes away once installed again after cycling ignition

i can hook the light directly to the battery and it is super bright with no flickering,

i have pierced the wires to the light when connected in its natural habitat, when i connect my meter its getting 13.5VDC in parallel with the light, no fluctuations reading on the meter but light still flickers

with light unplugged i have 0 Vdc at the connector, im assuming it has something to do with error on dash, when i plug it back in it stays out until i cycle the ignition, then back on and flickering again

I really dont know where to go from here…

Any help when you have time would be great!
