So finally, I replaced my side blinkers by LED.
Tell me what number of the side turn signal or did you replace it with a non-original one?
problems with the right headlamp, this is a factory defect of production. I have already met 4 headlights and all the right ones that had problems with the turn signal and not one left.
hello,
I replaced the side blinkers by non original LEDs.
Really? So what should I do?

given that the control unit will not be sold separately from the headlight, then either look for a broken one or buy a new one

If you believe that the main headlight control unit at the headlight bottom is damaged, this could be easily replaced. Spare parts are available from Renault or Online shops. Smart does not sell them.
Since left and right are the same, the first step would be to swap left and right control units to see if the malfunction follows.
Also you could swap entire left and right headlight unit just for troubleshooting (not for driving around).
If you have electronic test equipment like a regulated 12 V / 3 A DC power supply with ampere meter, you could check and compare the current consumption of the turn indicators.

only DRL is not controlled by this unit. There are three blocks on the headlight
booch,
correct, there are three control unit blocks on the headlight.
All I wanted to say is that the one at the bottom is known to be available from the marketplace.
Before buying a new one David should check if it is damaged by exchanging left and right units.
But the first step in troubleshooting now should be to exchange the complete left and right headlight unit to find out if the flasher malfunction goes to the other side.
David,
if you have installed Plontines DRL module, the cabling at the headlight side should be long enough to allow for plugging in the left headlight in the right wiring loom and vice versa. Just for functional test. Of course you will have to disassemble the car front to remove the headlights and place them on the other side.
Moreover, if you have a fast responding DC ampere meter with about 3 A measurement range, you could disconnect the single-wire flasher connection (see picture) and put the meter in between. By this you can measure the current consumption of the flasher. Should be equal on both sides and in a range of approx. 2 A.

the lower unit can be buy, but it is responsible for the operation of the main light and not the DRL. Another control unit that is not for sale is responsible for the DRL
