Xenon Lights and blending in..

Recommended Posts

I wonder why R*star put this in the game.

Its not like it is improving your vision, or like it looks so much cooler..

Thing i know is that, i can spot other players from above, much easier who have xenon lights ..

Cause yes,i have seen NPCs how also drive much faster than other NPCs (looking at their behavior), when gun fights occur and all.

People want other headlights colors and you are complaining about xenon lights not being cool..

Yes, and it's not functional, give your car another colour is another thing...

I find it functional, if your game isn't turned up to 100 on brightness, then it makes a difference, plus it's a neat touch, these are the things that make GTA GTA

'cause some people want their cars to have a little modern 'upgraded' touch, and it's an easy modification to make to any car.

I personally don't put them on most of my vehicles because I find that the stock lights seem to look much better (in my opinion).

Many cars even seem to already come with xenon's attached stock due to the car representing a luxury car (like the Schafter).

 

As the saying goes, it's apples and oranges (meaning that different folks like different flavors, despite the two fruits being functionally similar in terms of why people like them).

xenon headlights aren't meant to be tactik00l and stealthy, it's an appearance mod made purely for looks

 

 

what disappoints me is that they added xenon headlights, but somehow neon underglow didn't cross R*'s mind

You can tell which car the player is anyway and is their blip is on the map and their PV/clothing/driving style usually stand out heaps. Not to mention the tag with their name.

I don't use Xenon at all,
Most classic cars have the "yellow" lights and most luxury vehicles (Patriot, Cavalcade, Super Diamond, Any Benefactor vehicle) already have them.

The xenon lights mod is just a blue filter which destroys the CRI, tons of cars in game already have xenon-metal halide lights installed anyway so I never use it on anything.

 

Also on cars with 2 sets of lights that can be controlled, like the roosevelt, beejay, MW Mesa, gauntlet etc. Only 1 set of lights will get the blue filter and the other will stay stock, which looks pretty stupid.

 

I like other people using it though because it makes them easy targets when i'm flying in the jet.

I find myself driving around a lot without headlights..

 

Sometimes they are turned off, other times because I hit something to smash them up, hahaah..

 

But, for the most part. No headlights.

On my screen I think the Xenon lights do give you more light than regular headlights but it's not much maybe a foot or more of light :lol:

Correction, lol.. YOU blow mine up over and over.. And others. Like last night..

I sometimes use the bright setting for the headlights. Thinking that maybe it will blind the player I am about to run over, so he can't aim and kill me too easy.. Not sure if it works, I have succeeded and died. So, 50/50.

It doesn't work. The Merriweather mesa with the extra Light bar on top looks very cool on brights as the driver But to others looking at it the lights are very dim. Sad really.

I prefer not to install them unless the vehicle is begging for them. It's always easier to pick out a player vehicle when they have them.
