DRL LED strip out on 2015 TDI

Hello all.

So, like many others on here, I recently lost the "eyelash" LED strip on the passenger side. Quite expensive to replace, of course, although I was able to find a new light assembly at half the dealer-quoted $1k+ price. Dropping the bumper though is a few hours of work. So my question is, do I replace the still functional driver's side lamp also and leverage the same labor, or just wait for that one to fail too? (which will probably happen the day after I finish replacing the other one...) Any thoughts would be much appreciated. (A tad over 100k miles on the car at this point.)

Thanks.
Same here on a 2017 with 37k. Passenger side seems to be the culprit, new part number now, hmmm-they know something! I am thinking of going with the part to the local bodyshop as the labor rate per hour is 1/3.
