How to turn on Prawn Suit lights?
Im just floating along and just realised that my prawn's headlights are no longer on.

Things I tried:
- Repairing prawn to 100%
- Replacing the power cells
- Saving/restarting my game
- Mashing every button on my controller


Anyone else got any ideas?

Yeah... .but they're not though.
Are you using the PRAWN suit lights mod?
If not, I don't know what is causing it :(

Nah. No mods.

Its odd. The lights are visible and totally on when im in open and/or shallow waters. But when im deep in a dark cave, the headlight is basically non-existant. Oh well.
It may be a problem with your G-Card or G-Card drivers.

I just started seeing this as well - not sure why. As Safety Shrimp says, they're on but they're not projecting any light. This is a recent glitch - I'm positive they weren't doing this a month ago.

There is an effect where twin lights have a dark area between them, if you are too close to something. Try backing off a bit? Let us know if that is what it is... 8-)

I like the idea of a reminder for power levels but would like a power management inside the prawn so that I can redirect if need be in this situation. Is it time to go for a recharge or should I press on? Strange that the replacing of the powercells by the OP didn't make a difference though.

Can confirm that this works!! An odd bug.

It's probably a bug. But I have operated equipment where things like this were true. Probably due to minimized wiring lengths or trying to simplify designs, never did find out

Hey, I know it's probably too late, but I had this problem too. I fixed it by switching the ion power cell I was using from the right side port to the left side port.
