About this mod
Night driving in ETS2 can feel dim and flat. This mod replaces the light flares with high-resolution versions and rebalances how far lights can be seen and how they reflect, for your truck, AI traffic and street objects alike.
It's a visual change only: it doesn't alter gameplay, so it's safe to add to an existing profile.
Features
- High-resolution, realistic light flares
- Longer, balanced light visibility distances
- Stronger light reflections
- Applies to the player truck, AI traffic and world objects
