I have noticed on newer cars that when the directional (turn signal) is on, the headlight on the coinciding side goes off. What is the benefit, if any, of this function?

A lot are already answering. I also believe there are federal regulations for how close a blinker can be to a headlight. Turning the headlight off allows designs where the two are close to pass this regulation.
