I have the exact same problem - either its SCS mistake or they just made more "realistic" lights which use too much PC power which makes older PC's performance even worse :/

[7UN3RK0]

First please, remove that mods and try it without mods. Try create a new profile and test that lights.

[MartinoPio]

7UN3RK0, is the first thing I did. I also tried on another computer (Windows 7) and the same thing happens. The problem is that it occurs only in the parking lamps and lights normal. If I turn on the high beam momentary, the game continues to remain fluid. It seems very strange.

[7UN3RK0]

I don't have this problem, but I have MLAA turned off.

[Wolfi]

This bug does happen on weaker pc's I guess. I have lowered all my graphical settings and it still remains - before 1.8.x it wasn't there. So either it's a bug or SCS doesn't support non-uber-pro-gamer PC's anymore...

Edit: And actually some custom flare mods seem to be helping with the issue but it's not enough to call the game performance "smooth".

[Ilmiont]

Me too. Whenever the lights are on... boom, lag. This applies even if I just stick the indicators on and is quite bad approaching junctions when there are lots of cars present... all with braking lights/indicators etc....

[Ilmiont]

It lags less on full beam also for me but I have a theory on that... Full beam if you have tons of spotlights like me banishes all the shadows and just floods the screen with light... so the game presumably just renders the world but only lights the areas illuminated by light and with no shadows... causing less lag.

[7UN3RK0]

Now I see it. Its really baaad. I am turn lights on and game starts lagging.

Lights seem to be working fine here, only when turned on there's a minor drop in fps.
Not running anywere near a powerfull rig either.
