As the title says I've used Forscan to disable my rear turn signals all together and am currently using the brake/parking light as my turn signals as well, Not sure if its possible to program the factory turn as another reverse function? I've looks to see and couldn't find anything in the program not sure if anyone has found another way or if its even possible.

Why not? I think it would be nice to add more light for reverse to be able to see a little more when backing up at night, plus my ocd needs to use the disabled lights for something haha

Do you have bad eyesight or a medical problem?

I don't have the program in front of me but its under the option for right brake light and left brake light, if I remember correctly in the drop down menu its the option to use the brake as park and turn, just make sure you don't pick the one that says position or the lights will illuminate as if your foot is on the brake and disable the turn function.

I have astigmatism in both eyes, for me the brighter the surrounding light the better I see

Do the amber bulbs just stop working?

Yes, it disables them completely that's one of the reasons why I think it would be neat if you can enable them as secondary reverse lights, obviously swapping the bulbs out with another set of LED reverse bulbs.

I did it last week, it's super easy, but like someone said, don't use the position option in the drop down
