BimmerCode LED Conversion not showing option for PARKING lights (above fog lamps)?

I swapped out some of my halogens to LEDs however BimmerCode options are not matching the lights actually on the car.

Which one of these labels would be considered the driving PARKING lights (above the fog lamps)? I tried setting the "position lights" to active but it's still showing a bulb out message.

Also, is it safe to convert everything? From what I understand LED conversion stops PWM so lights don't flicker and the startup dead bulb check. But would it cause an issue if I coded LED conversion for a bulb that's still halogen?

Thanks

I converted my bumper-mounted "position lights" to driving / position lights. I also swapped out the halogen bulbs for LEDs, including my high beams. That allowed me to take the cheap and easy route of simply connecting my driving lights to my high beam headlight circuit. I figure I won't drive with either the driving lights or high beams on when meeting traffic, and when I need more light, I need all of it. No programming necessary this way, and the end result was (I think) more utilitarian than having to deal with two switches.

I don't quite follow. My lights look like the after picture. I'm talking about the parking lights, which are the upper small portion, with the fog lights below them. There is no option labeled parking lights in BimmerCode...
