The LED inside of the headlight assembly melts the surrounding plastic causing failure of the daytime running lights. Complete replacement of the headlight is required to repair it. This is a widespread problem across all 2016 and 2017 models.

The LED daytime running light (drl) strip is out on my drivers side after only 9 months. I have read about 8 other complaints and spoken with other accord owners with the same issue. It is absurdly expensive to replace considering it is all one assembly.
