It's a SA engine thing. The game only draws lights for 'x' distance. If you check those lights on the mapped areas of the server, they're not even visible, (last I checked). The game cannot draw on what's not physically there by default. The headlights are essentially useless.

That happened to me as well, not sure what I did. Is this problem in all vehicles or just this one? It must be related to mods some of them might be interfering.

It's the game's draw distance limitations. Just installed a clean copy. https://imgur.com/a/koLtJI4

Install SAMP Addon, and then install Silent Patch, both will fix a bunch of problems related to GTA SA and SAMP

Seems to be fixed by Nado's suggested mods.

i did see this mod, but i was unsure about installing it based on how much it fixes/changes. i might have to look into it more.
