Better Flares is a lighting enhancement for Euro Truck Simulator 2 that reworks how headlights, streetlights, and flares appear at night, giving the game's roads a more realistic and immersive glow.

The mod introduces improved headlight patterns, separate lamp and pattern modules, and a dedicated City Lights Addon that refines the color and brightness of street lighting. A Traffic Addon also updates AI vehicle headlight colors and patterns while improving compatibility with other lighting-related mods.

This mod suits players who want a more atmospheric night-driving experience with sharper, more natural-looking light effects across traffic, streets, and their own truck's headlights.
