Default I need a better DRL controller.

I have Projector beams with some DRL "Plasma Tubes" I kind of like the controller but it isn't exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps there is a work around or someone knows of a better one. The controller does the following.
On with ignition
On with headlights
On with park lights
Dim with low beams
Strobe with horn.
Blink with turn signal <<--- Here is where I have a problem. Package said OFF with turn signal but it blinks with turn signal. I prefer off but it won't do that.
Off 15 sec delay

Here is the link
Amazon Amazon


Seems like a pretty complete controller right? What am I complaining about? Well says off with turn signal and what happens is it cuts off with turn signal, then blinks in sync with turn signal but that doesn't last long like 3-5 flashes then it strobes for a blink to try to get back in sync with the turn signal. watch below. Anyone know of a better set up that does exactly what I want or something that will turn OFF with turn signals. I almost wonder if our pals at ForScan couldn't come up with something that ties in with the can bus and controls it electronically. Basically I want it to do like a Dodge Charger gasp did I really mention another mfg here? Yes. I like the way the chargers do their DRLs and how they look.

i have similar lights and i went the easy route. i rewired the "tubes" as you call them to an ignition-switched fuse under the hood so that they come on when the ignition is on for DRL, but you will need to open them up to do that.

I got a controller. They come on with ignition. The controller is pretty nice it was just misleading. It makes them flash with turn signal. I want temporarily OFF with turn signal. Other than that the controller has great features. And it just wired right into the 2 "tubes" that had their own leads.
