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?

For being someone who is recommending lights, it's odd that you don't know this. It's a safety thing put out by the government. It turns the light off to increase the visibility of the turn signal. 2007 Dodge Calibers had the same functionality.
