What this mod does
Interior Cabin Lights, by Eddie Yantz, adds an ambient light glow inside the cab of SCS trucks in Euro Truck Simulator 2. You can choose blue, green, orange, purple, red or white. It has over 46,000 subscribers on Steam Workshop.
How to fit it
- The lights are in the service shop, under the Driver’s Plate and Co-Driver’s Plate parts.
- You can make them turn on with the parking lights or with the beacons. The beacons don’t have a default key: assign one.
- Leave light visibility ranges enabled and tick secondary vehicle lights in Graphics.
- They’re only visible once it’s dark.
Modded trucks included
Besides the SCS trucks, it works with the Actros 2019, RJL’s Scania T and T4, the Next Generation Scania P G R S Pack, the Scania PGR 2004-2018, the Volvo FH 2012 (RPIE reworked) and the Volvo FH 2022.
