What this mod does

Road Trip Ford Cabin Lights is a mod by Codeman91, the same author behind the underglow lights for these cars. It adds colored ambient lighting inside the vehicles from American Truck Simulator’s Road Trip: Ford DLC.

What’s included

  • Works on the F-150, Bronco, Mustang and Crown Victoria.
  • Eight colors: neon orange, red, blue, green, purple, pink, cyan and ice white.
  • “Headlights” mode: the lights turn on with the parking lights or headlights.
  • “Beacon” mode: they turn on and off with the beacon key, which also controls other accessories tied to that key.

Installation

After enabling it in the Mod Manager, go to an upgrade shop and look for the option in the vehicle upgrades menu, under the interior options. There you choose the factory finish, the color and the switch-on mode.

What you should know

The author requires ATS 1.61 and the Road Trip: Ford DLC. You have to disable any other cabin light mod for these Fords, including the author’s own single-color ones. In the comments, some find them too bright and others say they don’t work for them, with no further details. It was published on October 4, 2026.
