Coding front amber turn signals off with headlights

I've been unable to find a working code option for the F25 to disable the amber bulbs /turn signal when the parking lights or headlights are on. Obviously they would still operate as turn signals and I've been able to do this in other vehicles in the past however have not been able to replicate in the F25.

Has anyone been able to make this happen? Can't seem to find any thread to indicate that it is. I tried the same code that I used in my F10 and that did not work and the F 30 coding doesn't seem to be in our cars given we don't have a fem_body module.

Not looking for a discussion as to the safety or legality of this, As many of the other threads with this question seem to turn into. Apparently in Europe they are disabled and I would think that this would be possible via coding.

I was going to ask the why, but, OK up to you.

As for the question, it's something Carly might be able to do. I'd research it a little, their site last I looked spelled out pretty much every option and there are quite a few related to lighting.

I can't seem to find this one. I prefer the look, as well as I have installed led bulbs for the turn signals and don't want them running constantly as I fear they could overheat.

Hmm yeah I don't see it either, there are a number of options but perhaps not this one. I feel like I saw more in the actual program, but the site should be up to date and trusted so... have to go with I was wrong on that option.

It is possible if you guys are still interested. I just did it to my 2012 F25 with Xenons.

FRM Module > LAMP_MAP_PARA_SATZ_03 AND 04

Change to wert_99.

Thanks for this, deeLow. Tried to find this solution for months and coding to wert_99 in expert mode seems to have done the trick.
