Greetings -

I have a 2018 XT Touring with EyeSight. I could have sworn that the DRL's extinguish when the turn signal is activated when the car was new, they now stay lit. Dealer says they don't, the owner's manual says yes. Any other 2018 XT owners out there that can advise if their DRL's extinguish?

Thanks in advance!

I have an XT Premium and my halogen DRLs turn off when turn signals are activated.

Suffice it to say they SHOULD turn off when turn signal is activated... Perhaps another Touring owner can chime in.

Newp, they don't turn off on my '17, I'll check the '18 when I get home, but I would think it would be the same as the '17.

The LED DRL's on the Touring do not extinguish when the turn signal is activated. I can confirm that behavior on my '18 XT Touring.

On the '17 Premium I have, the halogen high beam DRL does go off when the turn signal is on.

I think the logic? behind this is that the halogen headlight turns off because it's so bright that it could overpower the directional, but things are different with LED headlights.

Alternate explanation: It's a Subaru thing.
