DRL lights not working - help needed

[SoWeird]

Hello guys,
I have a 2017 Yaris Hybrid (hatch) with DRL lights that are almost non visible. Only when i get close to them i can see a dim light coming out of them.
This issue is on both sides (driver and passenger).
I`ve asked a mechanic to check the cars` battery, and it checked out fine.
Then i asked to get a quote on fixing the DRL lights, hoping it would be a cheap option of just unscrewing a light bulb and putting a new one in...
The mechanic said that it will require the whole front assembly to be removed and gave me a very large price quote on the parts+job.
Is there any way to replace the DRL (LED) lights on it without throwing away the entire assembly?
My front low beam lights and the motor and the case itself are working fine and i would hate to pay large sums of money just to replace a few LED`s.

P.S. The picture is just an example, not my actual car.

Thank you for your assistance.

Try releasing the parking brake and moving a few feet.
I don’t know why but on my Yaris it helped, the DRLs turned on.

Yes you have to loosen the handbrake before they turn on.
But not all trim levels has LED stribes DRL, but only old style glow bulb like this.
On this one its just crome stribes instead of LED stribes.https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/rjYAAOSwZmpetAqX/s-l1600.jpg

I'm interested How many in the world have caught the same expensive issue and if does it exist a way to have the light substituited by Toyota without paying like to buy a new car. THX

Hello everyone,
Question: have you or anyone else found a solution to this issue? I'm having the same problem in my Yaris Feel! 2017. I don't want to replace the full set just because of the LEDs, but at the same time I don't know how to fix this kind of problem.

Thank you in advance
