stupid n00b question about truck upgrades... light bars

#1 Post by RootlessAgrarian » 01 Feb 2016 05:16

So, ummm, I had a bit of spare cash and bought a lightbar for my MB truck.

But it doesn't come with any lights! is there some way to get lights later? Do I get lights when I've reached a higher level?

I feel kind of silly spending my game dollars on just a bit of chrome. I was hoping for a big scary lightbar for those long night drives through rural areas :-)

Press F4, and select extra roof lights and front lights.

Now they will work with your truck lights.

You have purchased the bar itself, now you have to buy the lamps to go on it. Go back to the workshop, click the little round placement tag and all the positions to which you can fit lamps ect will show up. The list of items you can fit will be in the menu to the left.

Thanks WLF, I didn't realise that the lights were individually purchased. I now have some lights and air horns!

@WLF now I just have to figure out how to turn those new lights on :-) there's just no end to the learning curve here :-) I assumed they would be wired into the Hi-beams, but... I read somewhere that I have to hit F4 and bring up a control panel and... another new thing to try!
