I wonder if the new caddy headlights are LEDs. I know the LEDs on Audis turn off when the turnsignal is used.

Lights blink for attention by imidazol97

GM had a "safety salute" when dimming headlights a few years back. When switching between brights to dims, the lights would do an extra blink to draw attention to the dimming.

I know the LEDs on Audis turn off when the turnsignal is used.
 
I had read somewhere on these forums, maybe a blog, a similiar statement with regard to the S5. That the DRLs shut off on whatever side the blinker being used is on.
 
I can't say for sure what happens at speed, but while sitting at a light waiting to turn, I can see the headlamp, DRL eyeliner & blinker all on at the same time in the reflection of the car in front of me.
 
I'll have to have somebody drive in front of me to see if there is any difference when changing lanes at speed.

I've noticed that too, at speed anyway when a modern Audi signals, the LED goes out while the signal is on. Saw a lot of them in Germany (where the A4 sells like a Camcord), it caught my eye.

Hmmmm! I wonder if my DTS does the same thing. If it does, I never noticed it while driving the car. Does it only happen when the car is moving or can I park it in the driveway at night, turn on the lights, turn on the blinker and walk in front of the car and see it?

Your DTS has LED daytime running lights?

Upon further review, my LED DRLs do cut off when the blinker is on, even if the car is in park.
 
Only excuse I can come up with is the reflection of my headlamp from the car in front of me shines back on the DRLs making them appear (to me) to be on in tandem with the blinker.
 
That's my story & I'm sticking to it. Off for an eye exam.

Saw one of those new retractable roof Lexus coupes today. The driver was the exact stereotype of who would drive such a car. I love the relationship between smoke and fire

I guess you're talking about the IS convertible?
 
I can't get wormed up to it's looks. I like the sedan but the convertible seems odd proportioned, especially the rear end. The BMW 3 series is so much nicer imo.
 
I even like the Lexus SC converttibles better than the IS.

Yeah, the IS. It is odd behind the A-pillar, and has big obvious "cracks" in the roof where it folds. Not a pretty design, but pretentious enough to attract its chosen demographic.
