my front DRL/fog doubles as amber turn signal. this image shows how that works:
the back though is red only for reg lighting, brakes (brighter), and turn signals.

Yep, LEDs are great. Glad all the lights on my LS are LED too

They dont use painted bulbs, they have a cover that hides the bulb

Your G90 seems like many other vehicles today in that the corresponding DRL blanks out when the turn signals are in operation. Not all are like that, though...on some vehicles, both DRLs or headlights stay on with either turn-signal is in operation. I don't know exactly why automakers do that (cost-cutting with fewer sensors/regulators, easier/simpler wiring, DRL laws that allow the elimination of one during turn-signals, etc....), but I'm open to suggestions as to the reason. My Lacrosse, for example, keeps both headlights and DRLs in operation all of the time regardless of turn-signal function.

My car uses the LED accent lighting (aka "eyebrows") as the DRL, with the LED turn signals in close proximity. I guess that means my headlights fall under exception b) in the article (signal is bright enough to be clearly seen even with DRLs on).
I think that if a company had to do this for one of their models, they might consider doing it for all of them, just for the sake of consistency, or to save money.
