🌃 MaxedWhiteStreetLights – GTA V Lighting Overhaul Mod

🧾 Description

MaxedWhiteStreetLights is a full lighting overhaul for GTA V that eliminates Rockstar’s outdated yellow-tinted streetlight glow and replaces it with consistent, realistic white light across the entire map.

This mod edits:

• Static .ymap light placements
• Emission settings of prop_streetlight_#, prop_traffic_#
• Timecycle fog volumes via vfxfogvolumeinfo.ymt
• LOD lighting via lodlights.rpf

🚀 Features

• ✅ Uniform white lighting across all districts and weather types
• ✅ Clean, color-corrected light emissions (no warm/yellow glow)
• ✅ Long-distance LOD support with updated fog zones
• ✅ Works in all timecycles and locations: Vinewood, Davis, Blaine County
