16 E having slight flicker in day time running (drl) strip

As the title states I have a 16 E class and I have a very slight flicker in the passenger side day time running light strip, I really only notice it when I'm in a dark space close to a wall like parking in my garage; but there is a slight flicker while the drivers side is constant.

From what I've been searching online it could only be the day time running (drl) module that needs to be replaced, but any insight would be great.

Anyone experience or hear of this issue?

Thank you

most likely they'll replace the entire headlight assembly under warranty

this has not been a commonly reported problem on this amg forum, you could query the w212 non amg forum
