    I've noticed in several new vehicles the following scenario:

    Vehicle is traveling with LED day-time running lights around/adjacent to the headlights
    Vehicle activates turn signal indicator
    Vehicle shuts off LED running light while turn signal indicator is flashing
    LED running lights turn on once the turn signal indicator stops
    Here are the cars I've seen seen this happen:

    Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Audi Q5
    Kia Sportage
    Ford Focus
    Why don't the LED running lights stay on while the turn signal is on?

    It is to highlight the turn signals.

    pati sa everest ganyan. para mas noticeable yung signal lights. maliwanag kasi yung drl baka hindi mapansin yung signal.

    Pansin ko lang sa Altis, medyo malakas intensity ng DRL niya, hindi ko napansin agad na naka signal pala siya, magkapatong pa naman yung signal light at DRL. Observation ko lang naman.
