The towing industry has always been one of my unexplored fascinations until I got old enough to really understand and appreciate it. I've got my own little tow empire in game, all with amber lighting, and wanted to make this bad boy match the rest of them in terms of light colors and livery - or lack thereof. I've made this model all amber, and have added an unmarked, transparent livery which will allow you to use whatever color you want.
Despite the vehicle being non-ELS, I've included a generic XML in order to make life a little easier on those of us using ELS. Do note that you will only receive the bare basics of ELS functionality, which includes turning on lights and siren individually and changing siren tone. You will not be able to change light patterns.
Yes yes, I'm aware, my lights are bright as fuck in the screenshots. Currently tweaking graphics settings and this is an unfortunate result.

Possible bug: You may still see blue reflections in the environment when the lights are on. I don't believe this is fixable.
