Turn off rear bulbs with parking lights
Over the weekend I coded a corner delete on my 2007 e90. Ghetto way of having my Lux be DRL until I can upgrade my FRM. Wondering if there's a way to also turn off the rear red lights (I only want my halos lit if possible). Thanks for any help, I've searched but can't seem to find an answer.

Where'd my VTEC go?

No. Parking lights by definition require the rears to be on.

Try these lines. Check operation with headlights on. These lines may cut them off in headlight mode too
Btw, if you're only after AE as DRL, you can hard wire them to a switched source. I have mine hard wired to the cigg lighter circuit and have a switch in line so I can control them if need be. You don't need to run wires into the engine bay. I pulled the pins out of the FRM and tapped into them there. It's a short 3-4ft wire run from the fuse panel using a fuse tap. Then disable the bulb checks for the AE circuits. It's easily reversible since I did not cut the wires out the FRM, I dissembled the connector and pulled the pins.

Thanks for the help guys. I knew about using a harness in the engine bay but didn't realize you could hard-wire directly to the FRM. That said I'll probably just wait for a module upgrade, going to dig around some wrecking yards in my area, who knows I might get lucky. I will also give the coding lines you posted a try and see if it works for me.
