Default Leaving Car lights on affecting Daytime Running Light module?

Hello

Does anyone know whether leaving one's car lights on affect the daytime
running light module? My mechanic left the lights on after servicing
the car and now the daytime running lights do not come on. He says the
daytime running light module needs to be replaced and that it is normal
"wear and tear". Is this true? Or is his carelessness to blame?

Thanks in advance

If you weren't in Canada, I would just say to leave them off, as people
like it better when they don't have so many lights in their line of
sight. I understand you need them for regulations, but I wanted to put
in a good word for the rest of us that don't like them.

Cheers,

Larry
