This tutorial will help you to get the night lights for BATs that you have downloaded.
This topic has been discussed numerous times in forums and it's question comes up repeatedly: How do I get the night lighting to work?
Now there are several steps to take and most of them happen at the official SimCity 4 site:
http://www.simcity4.ea.com
There you will find the updates you will need for the night lighting.
*You need to have Rush Hour installed or Deluxe edition*
**Please note, that if you do not want the SimCity 4 BAT installed, or have no intention of using it, simply download the SimCity 4 update from the BAT page. This will ultimately allow you to have nightlights in your cities. Be sure to use steps 1-2, and 5-6.
