Coding to turn off yellow turn signals at night

I was told we can turn off the yolk look of the turning signals when lights come on at night....can someone confirm and perhaps show me some photos of how it looks? Don't want it to look awkward and want to make sure the white light of the headlights are spread across as opposed to a dark patch on the corner.

Mine are coded off. Looks so much more expensive and elegant. Everyone needs to do this!

I don't know if I would say it is "easily" learned, but the instructions on this and other sites are very useful and manageable if read thoroughly.

I am new to this, and after purchasing the cable and getting the software, I have so far been able to code the TPMS temps and pressures to be visible, have set the auto on/off to default to off, and also removed the orange/yellow turn signals from the headlights at night.

I want to look into the adaptive anti-dazzle auto/headlights but this takes some extra steps I am a bit more hesitant to perform. I am going to ask for more specific instructions on this...
