....or so says my wife. The headlight on the side the turn signal comes on goes off, but returns when the turn signal goes off.

She says she noted the same thing on our loaner Q5.

Is this correct, and if so, what's the logic for it?

TIA

N8!

Not the head light - but the daytime running lights do.

That makes more sense. Thanks.

Is there some better justification other than, 'that's the way the wiring is set up'?

Its for safety. If the DRL stayed on while the turning lights are flashing it will make it hard to notice the turning light.

Thanks, again!

If only more people used their turn signals.

And taking this statement further, it would be better if more people turned on their headlights. A good portion of drivers don't know that they have to turn on their headlights. Perhaps your wife is one of those people (thinking that the headlights turned off when the signal lights came on)?

FYI - the 'wink' can be disabled with obd eleven unit, as mentioned above... but it does still dim the daytime running light when you signal.

FYI: You can order this holiday bundle directly for ODB11 for cheaper and get a carrying case too.
