No auto flashlight / toggable car lights

[Arrogant Bandit]

Yeah I know this game has no stealth element.
And I might be alone on this one, but I find it mildly annoying that Max is driving around with headlights on. Hell, even Chum comments on them being easily spottable at night due to the headlights.
The same goes for the auto flashlight. I want to use the flashlight when it's needed, not everytime I exit my car. At leat that one you can toggle.

EDIT: Also when driving in first-person mode the 'look behind / camera reset' (R3 on controller) takes you to third-person view.
Should this not also be first-person? (granted: you can't see sh!t with Chum there, but still)

I find it amazing they even work after all the ramming. Good suggestion, +1

I agree, there should be a way to turn off the car headlights.. It's a no brainer, hopefully in the next update?

I'm sure they had discussions about it, but whenever someone said, "All of the controller buttons are being used." They just dropped it.

They can just have button combos...

Indded. At the very least like the drop-top in GTA, hold down a button. Also, X-button does nothing when in the car.

Turnable lights would be welcome, along with the horn as another poster pointed out, perhaps Max's car is like mine, despite the rough looks, these are really 2002+ year models that have that anoying auto-on in the slightest darkness crap that modern cars have...Um, I AM capable of turning on headlights myself thank you.....

Haha, right!

It's now a game for me that every time Max auto turns on his flashlight I have to say: "No! Bad Max! No auto flashlight! No maggot treat for Max this time!"
Sometimes he listens, but I think that's just because he forgets.

Whats funny is the moonlight is so bright I don't need the flashlight or headlights except in gulllies while driving I MAY turn em on, especially when hunting for entry points among rocks, but otherwise perhaps I DO NOT wish to draw attention to myself?

but do the enemies REALLY recognize the lights of your car? i had the feeling, that it's only depending on the distance to them and that the headlights are just there for fun.

on PC?

[BridgetFisher]

the headlights we cant turn on and leave on when parked or turn off is weird. Would like them to add a hold x or a button to turn on headlights would be nice.

X is the ram button

Oh, right! Forgot about that. But that's still X + direction. So holding down X to toggle lights could work.

No no. I don't think light has any effect on gameplay. Not the car lights nor the flashlight. It's just like BlackWater said:
