II.  FOLDER CONTENTS and INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------

The following should be present in this ZIP file:

  Lighthack.exe


The Lighthack file creates new options in the Need For Speed High Stakes Main Menu and the Pause Menu. Below is a description of the file:



To install the file, proceed as follows:

  1) Locate your Need for Speed : High Stakes folder

  2) Run Lighthack.exe

Then start the game as usual. While in the race press ESC to pause and select Enable/Disable Lights
An additional button has been added to the Main Menu to quickly select Day/Night Setting. 


III. Known Issues
-----------------

Lighthack changes the Day/Night Setting and does not reset it. You will have to reselect Day/Night from the Track Select menu or the Main menu.
This hack might not work on all Need For Speed High Stakes localisations
