car headlights not bright enough

[NoOblet]

just wondering if there is a high beams? what button is it if it has one.car lights are not bright enough

[MrBalll]

Lights are fine for what it is. No brights.

[NoOblet]

so no high beams in a car? lol ok i think they should have them since cars have the feature

Lighting can be a little wonky still. Reflections are brutal but sometimes they do feel a little too dim. Im used to them now and as long as i stay on the road and dont drive like a madman i can see fine

I agree with the OP that the headlamps are rather dim. Drive carefully at nighttime (or better yet, don't go out at night).

If I recall correctly, leaving the headlamps on doesn't seem to drain the battery at all (as it would in real life). This makes me think that one could use spare cars as lighting sources that don't consume fuel?

I will edit this post if this does not work (i.e. using just the headlamps with the engine off drains battery and/or if you need fuel, spark plug, and engine to turn on the lights). But if it does work, then the generator becomes a lot less useful, as you can make do without a refrigerator.

Gameedged has taken a massive bunch of the cars and does this with them. He doesn't make lights for his bases, he just brings however many of the drivable cars he thinks it will take and brings them in and parks them with the headlights in the direction he needs light. He has a ring around the outside of the walls at one base to be able to see all the way around the perimiter. In his gas station base he has several inside that light the gates and workstations.

^Nice, that confirms what I was thinking: the generator is useless, then! There is really no need for interior lighting, for one. Since you can light fires inside without any penalties (i.e. smoke inhalation or burning down your house!) there's even less reason to ever build a generator or to struggle to keep one fueled. Neither the saw machine nor the refrigerator are needed with the abundance of respawning chickens and bears that always provide edible meat.

Perhaps if the dev adds some other useful machine that requires electricity to function and lowers the fuel consumption on the generator (or adds the option to set it to different modes), then it might actually become a worthwhile investment. Some beneficial devices that use electricity could include sentry guns, powerful searchlights (that could be used to blind and/or disorient attackers) and electrified fences. Of course, the nights would have to be made much more dangerous to justify crafting these.

The fridge could become more useful if there was a chance that animals may not provide edible meat, but I am not particularly keen on RNG elements being introduced to the game.

The problem is not brightness. The problem is that the lights are pointed under the front bumper and not in front of the vehicle. That's what needs to be adjusted

Plus the light looks dim because the wind screen is dirty.

i think all of the lighting in this game looks a little dim.
i have a difficult time telling when it's noon compared to dusk or dawn sometimes.
