Hey guys!
So I'm eyeing a second hand 2014 Seat Leon FR with 120,000km on the clock. Problem is, the front left DRL is yellow and dimmed. @gaffer1986 posted a thread about this back in 2017 but there was no solution mentioned. ( https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/drl-gone-yellow-and-dim.438998/ )

Does anyone know what might be the cause of this? and if it is an easy fix?
Don't want to buy the car then have to put in a somewhere around $600 to replace the entire headlight ;)

Attached two pictures of the car to compare the DRLs

The only easy solution is to replace the whole headlight, it might be possible to open it up and replace the just DRL but that would be much harder.
