meatpimp posted:That thread title... ouch. What I don't understand is why the LEDs go out when the blinker comes on. Every single car I've seen with LED DRLs kills them when the blinker starts. It looks completely stupid to have a bright-rear end DRL on one side and not on the other. Would it really be that hard to keep them on?

DropShadow posted:I love the LED DRLs on my S4. Audi used to be over the top, now they're one of the more tame with the LED DRLs. I changed my incandescent halo lighting to LED on my BMW, so I'm not completely anti-LED, but there's a tangible limit to their area and brightness that some manufacturers are already surpassing.
