Default DRL, and blinker on at same time???

I love the drl!, but I really do not like the fact that the light goes off when you use the blinker. This is in the daytime of course. Is this a legal thing or just engineering?
interested if anyone has done this mod or not.
I am aware that there will be replies that the vehicle will be more noticeable with just the amber flashing. I just like symmetry.....

it's a legal thing, if you look at all the other cars that have LED DRL, you will notice their lights turn off too when the turn signal is on.

You can "bypass" this by turning on your parking lights only BUT your LED DRL will be dimmer.

If you're behind the wheel, you'll never notice what the blinkers look like.

Not totally true. If behind another vehicle you will see the reflection of your lighting in their paint or chrome trim.

It's not just LED lights, I remember my Chrysler 300 a few yrs ago did the same thing. I think it is like that in most Chryslers.
