Code Lights

Hi there,
Recently I attended a Car Meet and saw that someone was able to code out their Amber Headlights in the Night, but increase the brightness of the Halos. So the turn signals would only be using the Amber lights. I've been trying to look through the Document, but can't seem to find the right code for it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Much Appreciated.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see it. Thanks! Quick question, what do you recommend I change the brightness of the halos too and do I change the outside and inside rings?

Just as a point of reference, I ended up running at 70%. It's not overpowering the lights but is very noticeable! Love the effect!

Does increasing the HALO strength/brightness, cause any additional damage to the halo bulb, or void warranty somehow?

halo is at 100% during the day..... so if it's 100% when it's hotter during the day don't think 100% during the night would do any damage, when it's much colder

Is there a calculation for the werte value?
I know the dropdown selection has like 8%, 10%, 12%, and 100%.
08=8% and 64=100%.

Let's say I wanted to set it to 75% brightness?

Would it be something like 64/100*75 =~48 werte value?

I'm running at 50%. Didn't turn off the side markers though. Don't see the need.
