Has anyone else noticed that when you put your blinker on, the running light on just the blinker side shuts off. I saw it reflecting off the truck in front of me at a light today. Kinda weird. Looks like one of your lights is out.

Audis do that and so do the new '14 jeep grand cherokees if equipped with the HID Package. It's to help other drivers better distinguish the blinkers if its a really bright, direct in the sun type of day.

I have seen that happen on Audis as well. Up until this thread, I just thought there was a problem with the newer Audi LED lighting. Go figure.

My CTS V did that as well. Focuses the attention solely on that blinker.
