✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 5k endorsements and 147k downloads — clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Does exactly what it says: swaps the default light color to white on three vehicles, no bloat.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it's a simple color change.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019 — might not work with the latest Subnautica patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects three vehicles; if you wanted lights on other vehicles or bases, this isn't for you.
For Subnautica players who find the default vehicle lights too blue or yellow and want a more realistic white glow. If you're a purist who likes the original look, skip it — this is purely a cosmetic tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2019, back up your Subnautica save folder before installing just in case.
- If you use Vortex or another mod manager, drop the mod folder into the 'Mods' directory for easier management.
- Test the light color change on a Seaglide first to make sure it works with your game version.
