Quick answer

In Roblox Greenville , most modern cars have Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that stay on whenever the engine is running. However, older or classic vehicles , plus a few specific models, are known to not have running lights at all , or only light up when you manually turn on the headlights.

Why some cars have no running lights

Greenville’s lighting system has evolved over time:

  • Newer cars (especially those added or updated after 2021–2022) often received “updated lighting” , including LED DRLs that are always on when the car is started.
  • Older cars that never got a lighting update tend to keep their original behavior:
    • No DRLs
    • Lights only come on when you press the headlight keybind (usually H)
    • Some have minimal or no rear “running” illumination until brakes/turn signals are used

The official Greenville Wiki also notes that running lights exist mainly to make the vehicle visible, not to light the road, and many classic designs simply don’t include them.

Types of cars that typically have no running lights

Based on community videos and discussions, these categories are your best bet if you want cars without running lights :

1. Classic / vintage cars

Older-year models, especially pre‑2000s, often lack DRLs:

  • 1957 Chevlon Jolie‑Mode (classic car from an early revamp)
  • Other vintage-style models that mimic older real‑world vehicles (which didn’t have DRLs)

These usually only light up when you toggle headlights.

2. Older SUVs and trucks that never got updated

Some older SUVs/trucks kept their original lighting:

  • Early versions of models like the 2005 Vellfire Yosemite before its lighting update were noted as having more basic lights. Once updated, they got new DRL‑style halogens.
  • If a vehicle hasn’t been mentioned in “updated lighting” videos , it’s more likely to still behave like an older car with no constant running lights.

3. Specific models called out by players

In forum-style discussions (e.g., Reddit), players have pointed out certain cars where the rear night‑time running lights (NRLs) or front DRL behavior is different or minimal:

  • Chevrolet Tahoe – mentioned in a thread about rear NRL behavior; implies some trims or versions don’t have constant rear running illumination like newer cars.
  • Various older or lower‑trim versions of cars (e.g., some Honda CR‑V , Ford Raptor Limited , etc.) are discussed as having less consistent or “worse” lighting setups compared to newer, fully‑LED models.

These don’t always have “zero” lights, but compared to the bright, always‑on DRLs on new cars, they effectively feel like no running lights.

How to test if a car has running lights

If you’re in‑game and want to check quickly:

  1. Spawn the car and start the engine.
  2. Don’t press the headlight key (H by default).
  3. Walk around the car:
    • If you see front/rear lights faintly on (especially thin LED strips or bright daytime strips), it has DRLs/running lights.
    • If it looks completely dark until you press H, it effectively has no running lights.

This is how most YouTubers determine which cars got the “new lighting” and which didn’t.

Practical tips if you want “no running lights”

  • Focus on older year models and classic cars in the dealership or private sellers.
  • Avoid cars that are specifically advertised or shown in videos as having “updated lighting” or LED DRLs.
  • Check community resources like:
    • Greenville Wiki – Vehicle Lighting page
* YouTube videos titled “ALL CARS WITH UPDATED LIGHTING” or similar to see which ones _did_ get DRLs, then pick the ones **not** on those lists.

TL;DR: In Greenville Roblox, older/classic cars and models that never received a lighting update are the ones that effectively have no running lights ; most newer or updated cars have constant DRLs that stay on whenever the engine is running.
