What this mod does

Colorful ambient lights (彩虹劈叉分八瓣) is a mod by 曲亓饼干 that adds colored ambient lights to the game’s trucks, in the style of the ambient lighting many show trucks have. It’s by the same author as the illuminated logos mod that already has a page on Holymod.

Colors and positions

  • Eight colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple and pink.
  • They go on the lower part of the bumper or bull bar, on the front corner deflectors and in the front wheel arches.

Compatible trucks

All the ones sold at the in-game dealer: Scania P, G, R and S; Volvo FH6 Aero, FH6, FH5 and FH4; MAN TGX 2020 and TGX Euro6; DAF XG, XF, XD and XF Space Aero; Mercedes-Benz Actros 2014; Iveco S-Way and Renault T.

Version and changes

The author doesn’t state a game version. The latest update is from April 15, 2026: he tweaked parameters, added wheel arch lights on the Scania Super and adapted the under-bumper lights to the 40 mm Scania bumper.

Known issues

The author replied that it doesn’t work on TruckersMP. One user says the Volvo FH6 lights are misplaced on 1.60, and another that the deflector lights on the MAN TGX 2020 don’t turn on. There are requests for a 1.61 update.
