Ginger74 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi folks Is it just me that thinks that the headlights are a little bit dim or do other people think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P h o e n i x Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 They definitely are dimmer than in 1.39, but in real life truck's headlights aren't usually especially bright, so I think they've gotten a bit more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger74 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yeah but adding extra lights (on top of cab and on bull bar) should make difference surely? Or maybe its just my eyes that need updating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...AdamCat Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yep I agree the lights are definitely darker than they were in previous versions of ETS, making me sometimes forget to disable my Full Beams when driving towards others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cevil Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have the feeling that the headlights are more realistic now. But yeah, they are a bit more dimm compared to 1.39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite [SVK] Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Maybe they are more realistic now when it comes to brightness, but the light distribution pattern is over the top and wrong. I am driving only left hand drive (driving on the right side), left headlight should be turned much more to the left to light up beyond the left edge of the left lane just slightly, not up to the middle of the left lane only, also slightly more upwards. With this it is very hard to see into the left hand corners, even if you trun high beams on. And when it rains it gets even worse as it gets much darker. The glare of the headlights is also something like parking lights at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree with you. I think the headlights coming with the 1.40 update are more realistic.

Guest Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yes it is, but I think this makes the game more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ROCK - PT Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I dont think they are really realistic at all , at least when u turn your extra lights on it should give you light like was almost day , (irl i have 15 hella comet 500 with 140w lamp) extra lights on my truck of service and i can guarantee you that when i turn them on at night , it looks day...)

Hans' Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Yes, the lights are a little dim. Most people complain about this situation, but this makes the game more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajokr Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I think we are all just to used to the pre 1.40 lighting. The overhead and bullbar lights do make a considerable difference though. I only just came over to ETS2 from ATS. My Peterbilt doesnt have the option to add any lighting so it took some adjusting (its not as big an issue since I play at night so the room is dark, daytime play is a challenge though). Once I unlocked the light upgrades in ETS2 though, i did notice an improvement on this situation. That said, if i tweeked anything with the lights, it would be some extra width with the lows and a few more feet of distance with the highs.

BudokanTB Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The light is a lot dimmer in 1.40 then 1.39. It looks so much more realistic in my opinion. The only downside is that at night it's a bit more tricky to see anything. But I guess that just takes some getting us too. The other downside is that in the daytime you can hardly see the lights on the truck in front of you. So you really need to keep distance so you don't ram a driver because you can't see their brake-light and indicators. | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to real life counterparts? Not quite. Low beams are too dim especially during day and sunset, but driving during night hours is a lot more atmospheric.

[GökBörü] Enes Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 sellector animation is perfect, but very dark in the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[G-T-R]GrayWolf Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Nothing wrong with the headlights at least for me it's more realistic now low beams distance enough the see other players front of you or oncoming traffic and all brake lights more visible now. You can put on extra light on grill bar like in this picture but only problem it's working with highbeams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan22 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 They are definitely dimmer but that only adds to the reality. They are anyways good enough for all situations. They do their work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlotex Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 They aren't that bright anymore, but still look pretty amazing at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast-rider Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I think that the lights in 1.39 were brighter. Sometimes I think that they are too much dimmed, compared to 1.39. But the lights are in the 1.40 version much more realistic, and to be honest, this dimming isn't too bad and it looks much better than in 1.39.

seth_haveron Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 i think Unrealistic is the word you are looking for .... the steady light of my bicycle is much brighter then this candle lights in this game ... they should be very close to each other .

Araleya Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 They have defiantly changed in 1.40, I think they are more realistic, but yeah they are a bit dim, but thats probably because we are used to the old lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they nerfed it because all that light made the server lagg.. i'm not sure tho. But i've seen it going around on the discords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammad Nizar F Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I think this is pretty good, because in real traffic the truck/car lights are a bit dim at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
