I have a 2021 BS Badlands and I just noticed during the day when the running lights are on and you put your turn signal on, the running light on that same side turns off when the turn signal is turned on. It makes it look like your headlight is burnt out. Is everyone’s like this?

Pretty standard for DRL functionality. It makes the turn signal easier to see for those in front of you. That being said, if the DRL is far away from the turn signal, then they might not turn off when signaling.

Every time I drive my BL, I always thought of that especially if you are in front of traffic lights making left or right turn people think its burnt or defective lol.. now I'm used to it. I've seen many different cars do the same. But I wish it wasn't design like that.

if you are driving, how do you see the headlights? LOL
I have a OPT7 lightbar on my Ram and people complained (when installing them) about the Un synced turn signals and light bar. I thought I can't see it so why would I care about the syncing?
This is actually pretty common with most new vehicles that have LED's headlamps.

Yes, same with most vehicles. Idea is makes the turn signal more visible for those that still use them!

Probably because at night the contrast is good so the DRL’s don’t need to be shut off.
