While not quite getting what you are asking about, yes it is possible to specify completely different and freely the lighting in positions DIM and BRIGHT. I think what you want to do is having the DIM for forward running and BRIGHT for backward running and this is possible.

RE: lighting area

That`s right!
But who tells me the configuration of lights in .eng file?
I changed there all,but nothing matter!?!
Can You help?
Best result was-in Bright position,the light is going from rear headlight,but direction is to front,not for backward.www.zone.ee/msts

Make sure you change the 'sphere of light' definition to be pointing backwards. The techdocs included on the CDs (don't remember which one it is on) are actually VERY helpful, in particular the one on lighting, which breaks down all parts of the (Light) definitions.Tim Frost

RE: lighting area

It is possible. I have a default gp38 HEAVILY modified with fireman cab view and directional lighting no matter which end of the car its on, comes in handy when switching at night.michael gilmore
