Hello there!
 
It's another (second) Taxi ad fix on LSPDFR. It's a humble fix, it fixes Taxi Ads when using any mod that modifies visualsettings.dat file. The first one (by PDaniels) is quite good but a bit weird aswell. I found 5 minutes to create a better fix since there's only one (or I just think it's better LOL). You may use it or not use it. It's always good to have different choices, right?
 
Installation:
 
1. Pick one folder depending on your taxi.
1.a) If you have vanilla unmodded taxi, then pick up "ytd" folder and place taxi.ytd in any patchday (the latter the better, because of .rpf size) archive into x64/ levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf.
1.b) If you're already using vanilla modded taxi (changed textures for example), then pick "texture" folder and replace taxi_signs_2 in your taxi.ytd via OpenIV like you did with other textures. Only you know where's your taxi.ytd. Default GTAV location is x64e.rpf/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf , but I prefer putting vehicle files in patchdays because of rpf size.
 
This fix probably will not work with custom taxi models, if they use their own ad boards.
 
RESULT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR VISUALSETTINGS.DAT FILE. TESTED WITH "NOT TOO BRIGHT LIGHTS". PLEASE REPORT UNCOMFORTABLE BRIGHTNESS WHEN USING OTHER MODS.

After R* messed the lights up, thegreathah released his mod called Bright Lights. After a while BxBugs123 updated his RadianceV mod (which is known to have "OH MY GOD MY EYES GIMME SUNGLASSES RIGHT NOW!" effect). And guess what? They both burned my eyes off as intended. Bright Lights, as thegreathah stated, is just bright without any realism or something. So I decided to share my own tweak based on Bright Lights.
 
So what's changed? Almost all lights were dimmed a bit to be less annoying. Coronas' size was reverted back to vanilla (I think vanilla is just fine). I guess I found sweet spot with those changes, so I hope you like it.
 
INSTALLATION:
Just put the file into update.rpf/common/data. Be sure to use "mods" folder and\or make backups.
 
CREDITS:
Credits go to thegreathah. You probably may edit and distribute this, just credit me (optionally) and thegreathah, and do not ask permission.
 
KNOWN ISSUES:
Taxi lights are brighter than satan's butthole © thegreathah. I will look into this, but seems like I can't do anything now to fix this. Someone made a dark texture for taxi as workaround, but I don't know if you can use it with custom taxi cars, so go check Bright Lights comments section.
 
PLEASE NOTE:
Lighting is actually different on different cars. I can do nothing to make my tweak to be fine with all cars. Modmakers make their vehicles with different amount of light somehow, so some cars may be dim while others may be bright as hell. So please do not complain about it.
