Disabling ambers when headlights are on

I know of the "corner delete" mod, but does this also disable the ambers when the headlights are on? My goal is to disable ambers when headlights are on (with headlight switch in auto or on), but still have the ambers work when the headlight switch it set to parking lights.

Currently, my only coding so far was to turn on the angel eyes only when the engine is running. They function as follows:

Headlight knob set to OFF: Angel eyes only
Headlight knob set to PARKING LIGHTS: Angel eyes and ambers
Headlight knob set to ON: Angel eyes, ambers, and headlights
Headlight knob set to AUTO: Angel eyes only when light out, Angel eyes, ambers, and headlights when dark

I can then turn the angel eyes on or off using the daytime running light option in the cluster. I would like them to function as follows:

Headlight knob set to OFF: Angel eyes only
Headlight knob set to PARKING LIGHTS: Angel eyes and ambers
Headlight knob set to ON: Angel eyes and headlights
Headlight knob set to AUTO: Angel eyes only when light out, angel eyes and headlights when dark

Is this possible?

My car is a 2007 Pre-LCI with factory xenon adaptive headlights. I have FRM2.

Once you code corner delete off.. That's it its gone.. but I do get what you are looking for tho.

So If I code the ambers off, they will then be off when the parking lights are on and when the headlights on? So they are basically only for turn signals. Am I understanding that correctly?

If so, then that might also work. No real need to have the ambers on for parking lights I guess.

Exactly so.. They are only on for turn signals, and lock and unlock signals..

Code angel eye to DRL and you have a clean look when Parking/ headlights are on.

You can code out the side markers and the LEDS. Daytime running turns on angel eyes only....headlights on is Angels and Xenon only but side markers blink for blinker. Sidembarked is the LED in the corner not the side light on fender. Code US_SIDEMARKER to "nicht activ" and the bulb is LV_"something" can't remember offhand. But make it "nicht active" too. Then you only get amber for blinker or hazard.

I set SIDEMARKER_US in the NFRM module to not active and now the ambers are only on for turn signals or hazards. Thanks!
