@Aero really great work!
Is it possible that the "lights" are just flare textures, and the rearview mirror does not allow this type of transparent textures?
Maybe the trees have another file format that we should use for the lightflares too, since they look transparent.

@ModMax I don't know. The lights are there in the mirror, but there's a weird layering issue that hides them behind all the geometry.
