Real Good Headlights for SCS Trucks

Description
REAL GOOD HEADLIGHTS for SCS Trucks

This is NOT your typical "wider and brighter" headlight mod. These headlights aim to give you a feeling of real life night time driving. Get ready for a more pleasurable drive at night. Your nights will not seem long enough.

This version is for the stock SCS trucks for European Truck Simulator 2. My other mod works with various modded trucks for ETS2. In the Workshop for American Truck Simulator you can also find two more versions, one for the SCS trucks and one for modded trucks.

This will greatly improve the visibility when driving at night. Good visibility was a top priority when creating this mod along with trying to keep as much realism as possible. With these headlights, you will get some light reflected to both sides near the front of the truck which will make it much easier to see when turning at a dark intersection, or turning into a dark entry.

This mod supports all of the stock SCS trucks for ETS2 and also works when taking on a quick job. Halogen, LED, and Xenon lights are supported.

I used to hate driving at night. I would coordinate my rest periods so I would sleep through the night and only drive during daytime hours. With this mod, I now look forward to driving at night.

Joeyao, there is something you should check. Go to Options->Graphics->Light visibility ranges. Make sure it is set to High. Anything lower will reduce the amount of light in the depots and on the streets.

Joeyao, there is nothing I know of for providing more light in a depot. However, I am looking into the possibility of making a new mod that will provide a light where the roof beacons normally go. These lights would act as flood lights and would shine a lot of light on both sides of the truck.

Thanks, is there any mod to set more light for freight yard or company depot? It is usually too dark when I need to get into the tiny parking lot.

i found out what the problem was. I have some led bars on top from the illegal scania mod. When they are turned on the low beams are stronger and when I turn them off the long beams are much stronger.
So they are a bad match. Thanks for a great mod btw :steamthumbsup:

JeppDetErMeg, the low beams are NOT stronger than the high beams. Let me know what truck are you using and I will check it out.

Why are the low beams stronger than the high beams ?

PziCrow, the way my light masks are designed, it is not possible to smooth or feather out the edges because the coloring in the mask that is used is almost as dark as it can be. For instance, the left and right edges use 02 and 03 values and an 01 won't feather it at all. I have tried it and the edges look real rough and choppy, not very good at all. If the values were higher such as 20 or 30, then some real nice feathering could be done. In the past, I have tried using higher values everywhere on the mask, but then it gets hard to control the brightness down the center of the road without using extremely low color temperature values. However, I am always working on these and might come up with a different solution. My headlights are done completely different from everyone else's. Thank you for the comment, it is really helpful to hear what people like and dislike.
