It also extends to AI traffic, modifying SCS vehicles with 10 headlight color variants and 2 shades of red for tail and brake lights through the included Traffic Addon.

A City Lights Addon is also included, dimming and improving the realism of street lamps, with an optional version that adds fog effects for extra atmosphere.

This mod suits players who want more immersive and realistic lighting at night, whether driving their own truck or observing traffic on the highway.
