i've saw a time ago a tutorial here on tdu:c but can't find it for nothing!

I think you'd need a modder to mod all the exterior car files. I don't think you could mod all the taillights and headlights like that. I'm not sure though.

For the rear lights you need to open the car bnk that you want, extract lgt_rof.2db, convert, edit, reconvert and put it back in the original file.

 

If you only want to change the colour of the front light, there is a file called light_fx somewhere, can't remember the bnk though.

thank you andreaz,but wich dxt extension i should use? :D

 

EDIT: the car i want to mod dont have the lgt_rof.2db,it has a lgt_r_off.2db instead and if i change anything in this file the car become invisible and the game crashes when i try to take a spin

I use DXTBMP so I don't need to worry about the dxt extensions. What car are you trying to mod, and you did convert the 2db into a dds, and then the other way around?

i was trying to mod the dodge ram srt-10,but i cant get it work for nothing,the strange thing is that every other car in game (both mod and original) works fine

btw,i found out a interesting feature em modding tools,you can right click in any .2bd file and select to edit in your DDS editor,the MT converts to dds and then to 2bd again

anyway,i got black rear lights for my vette and red interior gauges for tool's camaro ss(hope he not sue me :lol:)

 

oh,about the lights,editing light fx makes all cars in game have red lights,its surely strange a green DB9 with red headlights :D
