There are many ways through which we can customise our trucks with various forms of lights. However, a lot of available Light Packs are not compatible with customisation in American Truck Simulator. This article shares the details on how to add lick pack compatibility to trailers and trucks.
- Open the file location of the American Truck Simulator on your PC.
- This would be in your primary drive. In the majority of cases, the C: drive is the primary drive.
- From the American Truck Simulator folder, search for game.log.txt
- Here, you need to search for the work markers.
- This word is important cause it would help you add the light pack to your trucks and trailers.
- There are several light packs available for use in American Truck Simulator.
- We would go with the abasstreppas Hella Lamp Pack. You can download it from here.
You will be getting Hella Luminator LED, Hella Jumbo 320ff,/Hella Jumbo 320ff LED in the pack. Along with this, the pack would be providing you Hella Double Burner in 15 versions and Hella K-LED beacons in standard and compact versions. Although this is a Euro Truck Simulator mod, this mod is also compatible with the popular truck simulation game.
