Daytime running light intermittent errors?

My 2017 GTI SE has adaptive xenon headlights. The past couple months I have gotten an error in the console saying “check right daytime running light”. The right daytime running light is not working when this error is there. But the error goes away and the DRL works fine if I restart the car (sometimes for weeks). Any ideas what’s going on here?

Dealer says the DRL LEDs are starting to fail, but it doesn't make sense because A) the car is not that old and LEDs last a very long time usually and B) it will go from working to not working and back again. Seems like if the bulbs are failing they would just stop working?

Mine did that when it needed a replacement LED DRL driver module after water got inside. If that's the problem, pull the bumper, unplug module, swap with 2 bolts, reverse. Piece of cake. Mine was 4G0.907.697.G for $60 on ebay.
