Default DRL troubleshooting

hey guys, I have a 2003 civic that had the infamous DRL indicator on the dash.

The DRL's don't work at all ( no lights unless I manually turn them on) High beams work fine. Bought a new DRL Module and swapped it to no avail. Any ideas on what the issue could be ?

thanks in advance !

Relays are mentioned in this thread behind the glove box. There is mention of a gray relay for the low cut beam but I would check the other black one as well. https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-2...issue-2954711/

Let us know how you made out...
