When you press the LR button on the key fob to get the headlights go work for a time, press again & you get those and reversing lights. Can be enables with a gizmo.

The reverse lights are jus enabled as follow me home lights , they come on as the vehicle is locked and go off after a set time so the idea is they light the way to your front door You're not afraid of the dark are you ?

They have to be enabled in the CCF(may already be enabled)
Then when you have the 3rd(Landrover) button set to follow me home lights then a second press will put the reverse ones on also.
With the super bright LEDs I use mine all the time.IID PRO

When "Follow Me Home" is activated from the vehicle it is done by taking the keys out while the lights are on then turning the lights off after. It's not related to locking the vehicle. When they are activated they only do the front lights not the reverse. Reverse lights are only activated by and double press on the LR button.IID PRO

My D3's CCF is not modified. When I press the LR button the fronts lights are switched on. A second press on the LR button turns them off. A double press merely turns them on & immediately off.
What I would like to achieve is what Carl says above, or possibly better still both headlights & reversing lights turned on & off with the LR button.
Is this possible by editing the CCF ?

AFAIK editing the CCF gives you:
First press headlights on
Second press headlights and reversing lights on
Third press both off.
I've never heard of both on with first press then both off with 2nd press.
Should be straightforward CCF change along the lines of turning on Hurdigurdie (Scandinavian) lights.

When FMHRL is activated in the CCF you get this when you press the LR button:
1 Press - Front Dip Lit
2 Press - Front Dip + Reversing Lights Lit
3 Press - All Lights Off
Is that what you're after?Mods:

I Stand corrected You're not afraid of the dark are you ?
First press - fronts on
Second press - rears on
Third press - all off
You could wire up the reversing lights to achieve what you want though, with a feed actived by the dipped beams, but shut off by the sidelights.
