Inner brake light LED coding

So just curious about coding LEDs for the inner brake lights on a 2016 F36.

I use BimmerCode with a VeePeak dongle. Swapped out both the outer and inner brake lights with LED bulbs last night. There was an option for "Brake light warm..." etc, which I'm assuming is for the outer brake lights only? Or is it both sets? Or is this for the 3rd brake light?? Come to think of it, there was no option for left or right...

Anyway – then there were options for "Adaptive brake light..." and "Rear fog light..." (left and right)

My question is, which of these options is for the inner brake lights? The ones that's are part of the deck lid. My understanding is that they are used for the "area enlargement" feature of the adaptive braking, but my car only has the rapid flashing function. So maybe they are the rear fogs?

Either way, I coded all the options for LED, just curious which ones they actually were.

The inner and outer lamps are separately coded. They're not shown in your pic, which only shows maybe 1/3 of the rear lamp codes. The rear fog lamp is something else, and isn't active on US cars unless you do a mod to add a switch for it.

Sorry for the wait, I just put in the LED reverse lights and figured I'd grab some screenshots now. The pics attached are all the voltage options and settings for my REM. I see the inner and outer lamps, but I think those are the tail lamp bars?

The bar lights are factory LED.
