What you're describing is the Daylight Running Lights (DRL). Assuming you live in the United States, you can turn these off (Canada you cannot legally).

If you haven't looked in your manual:

This will show you the switch. The little knob marked A in the image, controls the DRL. To change the function (on or off), using a small screwdriver (flathead) turn the knob counter-clockwise. This will turn the DRL off. So when your car starts, the DRL will not come on.

To use the high beam to flash, pull the turn signal lever towards you.
