Immersive Car Lights

Description
This script allows a player to have lights on the vehicles that work like the real world.

If you turn on your head lights your brake lights will illuminate, but not very bright.
If you initate the parking brake the brake lights will be on and really bright, same if you press the spacebar (brakes).
If your vehicle is going under 10 m/s (configurable in script) and turn your wheels left or right the approprate indicator lights will flash.
If you are going in reverse a reversing light will illuminate.

As a extra bonus I have included a Speedometer that will be displayed on a LCD panel.

Hey Thank you, I like the script. I got some questions:

1. I did see there is a part to define, if the script will use only the main grid or if it should use subgrids too. Can you give a short explanation on how to set the subgrids up?

2. On one of my grids I use Searchlights as headlights, they do not seem to work, do I need a normal light too?

3. Is it possible to add some ambient lights too, so they turn on with the head and taillights?

Thank you very much!

If anybody's having issues with vehicles that have two cockpits or more, the script will only work if you're driving from the cockpit that was placed last.

Great mod, is it possible to add amber running lights, lights along a truck and/or trailer?
I've tried modifying/adding to the script however my skills are lacking.

The indicator lights work, but the reverse and brake lights don't seem to. Also I'm not sure if I can use the same lights for reverse and turning?

Great script. I think it would be neat to have turning lights too, like headlight but only turn on during turns, like some modern cars have. Also i wish there was a way to adjust the settings of all the lights in this mod. For example the reverss light has a way too little radius to be usefull reversing in the dark. And lastly would it be possible to have the reverse light stay on when the speed is 0 until you start driving forward again or specific time? Still, great script tho!

The script does not work properly with the small grid control seat or remote controls. Parking break lights up fine, but all else is unresponsive. Everything works with other cockpit types.

How do you set this up? Awesome!
