Ok, I've noticed every Chrysler in the last year or so has an interesting feature. When you turn on a signal light, the headlight on the same side is turned off. I figure this is so it's easier to see the turn signal. They should have just made the signal light brighter!

Anyway, does this Jeep do that?

If so, it would be bad for HIDs to be turned on and off all the time like that.

Headlights remain on when turn-signals are activated.

Never heard of that but on my 335, when you turn the signal on, a second set of light turns on for that side. Both turn on when in reverse.

Apparently this only happens when the daytime running lights are on, not the full headlights. Must be a Canadian thing. Doesn't matter to me in that case, because I always drive with my full headlights on.
