Same chart was is the Lokpilot Micro manual - which I figured was the more likely decoder used in that little loco.

I randomly picked the lokpilot standard from this page hoping there wouldn't be too much difference across the line.

Henry...thanks very much for finding the table; whichever Lokpilot instruction link I was into didn't include the table.
First, I discovered that with factory settings in place, after hitting F0, I have an interior cab light by also hitting F1. I'll bet Walthers didn't know that. Using the chart, I changed CV 37 to 1 for front light with F3 and CV43 to 2 for rear light with F9.
rrinker I think what he said is correct.
It's starting to sink in! You made my night Randy
Henry snuck in on me. I think what he said is correct. The table is of which wire is controlled by a particular button, so making CV36=2 should make the rear light controlled by the F2 button. CV36 is the CV for the F2 button, the default is a value of 8 which turns on the Aux2 output, but if you make it 2 instead, it will turn on the rear light (yellow) wire)
There is a giant hole in my knowledge when people throw out the phrase just use function mapping, like just do it with an Arduino.
However there are a lot of smart people here, so let's start with the instructions for a Lokpilot standard. There are other pilots but I think we can extrapolate if the gurus type slow enough so we (or I, no intention to disparage you) can understand
Looks like CV 34 =2 ought to make F2 work the rear light, but maybe not.
I have a Walthers ML-8 Plymouth switcher with a LokPilot decoder. I would like to remap things so the front and rear headlights are each assigned to a specific function button.
I have changed all my locos equipped with other than ESU decoders so that I have independent control of front and rear lights.
I'm sure its covered somewhere on the ESU site but I can't find it.
