ETS2 Headlight Options (colors, patterns, throws)

Description
=====
NOTE: In v1.57 SCS made some changes to the games' file structure (I'm guessing to account for upcoming new trucks); thus this mod had to change, which broke the v1.56 content. Therefore, I also restructured this mod to ease editing for those of you who like to tweak. To wit, all trucks' head_light files now get their colors and patterns from two new directories (i.e., "\def\vehicle\truck\eyt_colors\" and "\def\vehicle\truck\eyt_patterns\"). You can change all trucks' head_light en masse by editing only files in those two directories.
=====
1.56 version is included, too
=====

This mod includes Halogen, LED, & Xenon headlight options for all SCS ATS & ETS2 trucks(*)(**) that have headlight options in the store.

GENERAL NOTES (ATS & ETS2):
- The following codes define the various headlight options compared to SCS defaults:
[L;H] = Low beams shine wider and longer; High beams shine longer ('HiLo'),
[L>H] = Low and High beams both shine wider and longer ('Combd'),
[H] = Low beams shine the same ; High beams shine longer ('Hi only').

- this mod does not include SCS trucks that don't have headlight options in the store(*).
- It's NOT possible for me to include paid mods into this mod; ask the mod's author to include my work with credit (no compensation). Paid-mod authors may contact me to confirm my permission: eddieyantz@gmail.com

===== NOTES =====
ETS2 MOD TRUCKS INCLUDED: none
(*) - SCS ETS2 trucks that do NOT have headlight options: DAF XF, DAF XF105, Iveco Stralis Highway, Iveco Stralis, MAN TGX Euro 5, Renault Magnum, Renault Premium, Scania R 2009, and Scania Streamline.
(**) - Some ETS2 trucks don't have a Halogen options because Europe is banning halogen bulbs.

Excellent news! Thanks, Eddie. Looking forward to you releasing.

I found causes of 157 crash (SCS moved/streamlined some files); I fixed this mod, and have it working locally. I plan to publish it in several days.

My fix may cause you to buy some modded headlights again :( notably Scania and Volvo.

I also reformatted some code to ease editing for those of you who like to customize the mod; explanation will accompany the published mod.

Caused a crash for me every time I tried to select the NG Scania's either of them in 1.57 beta

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with 1.57 Open Beta. When enabled in mod manager I crash as soon as I click to continue career. Once disabled I have no issues. I hope this is something that can be resolved and also have time to look into. Love this mod.

So after some testing I turned of the mod, switched to regular SCS lights then reenabled the mod switching back and now it works again:steamthumbsup:

@TTVnoobccom, I did some work (all trucks), but not sure I'm done yet. Ensure you have version 1953, and let me know . . .
