Default Those that have had the " Left/Right Main Beam Headlight" warning..

What was the root cause?

I'm getting it about 25% of the time at startup. Everything seems to be functioning correctly with the headlights. Gotta find me some time to go to the dealer.

Just looking to edumacate myself.

Default had my car in this week for this

It was an issue with the left DRL lamp bulb socket being burnt. According to the service notes they cut off the old socket and spliced in a new socket. That seems to have fixed it.
