Was the car malfunctioning? (see description)



I was driving at late evening hours.
A car coming toward me was going to turn left.
That car's turn signal was not blinking but the car's left headlight was blinking, in rhythm like the usual turn signal.

Is that a new update for some cars?
I found it really annoying and distracting to my driving my own car.

    It seems that turn signals are an option that many people refuse to spring for when they buy a car, yet will show their displeasure to other drivers who did the same by displaying their driving dinger.  Some who did get this option like to show it off by leaving it on whenever they drive.
    A blinking headlight?   Well, at least it was halfway there.  Most people drive with either 1 headlamp (on bright) or no lights at all.

    Yeah, I've seen the cars you describe, too.  :)

    Weird. Does sound distracting. Surely that's a malfunction.

    I also remember the light was  'signaling' in the 'regular rhythm' a turn signal would -- and it was a newer model car.
