I'm sorry to bother you more on this topic, would you mind posting the details of what I need to purchase to convert my lighting as well?

I guess bulb numbers, adapter, whatever else is needed if anything

Thank you

I honestly don’t remember the PN’s. No adapters were needed...I turned off the hyper flash with Forscan.

So the blinker isn’t sped up since the car thinks a bulb is out.

Because Forscan is free and it takes literally 30 seconds. I’m not even sure there is a relay...I think it’s all built into the BCM now.

What lumen did you go with on each bulb? I see there are 3 choices for each bulb, I wonder what the linens are for the stock light?

nvm, I’m dumb

Can the app that came with the OBDLink MX+ make the change, or does it have to be ForScan?

No but you can use that adapter to run Forscan

Ok, thanks, can it be the free Android version or do I just buy the Forscan Lite app?
Go on their site and follow the directions on how to load it. It does require Windows and it is free. You’ll need to get what they call an “extended license” to use it. I turned off the double honk for when you walk away from the car while it’s running and hyper blink when I installed LED’s. You actually disable Bulb Out for left and right rear to do that.

Cool, I'll buy that and put it on one of my laptops, it will be worth it for the double honk alone, I hate that feature. Can you also make it default to Sport mode?

No. You also can’t turn off auto stop/start.

Bambi mode leaves the fogs on with high beams...so all 6 lights are on at once. It’s a LOT of light.

You can also program the fog lights to work as cornering lamps if they're not already on.

is the swap fairly easy? how much time/tools are involved getting the housings off the vehicle and getting access to the bulbs? any pics?

i have the same question... how easy is it to swap things out.
Easy. 10 minutes per side. From the inside of the back, there’s a small plastic cover opposite of the light assembly. Pop it off and unscrew the bolt assemply, then pop off the light assembly. Pretty self explanatory once you get into it.
