Benji's Light up Command Pods

[Benji13]

Introducing,

Benji's Light up Command Pods!

This mod allows you to turn lights on and off on command pods/modules like you can with cockpits! 

It also works on the Hitch-hiker Storage Container. This is good for making your rockets look a lot cooler, as well as being more visible in the dark. This doesn't currently work for the Mobile Processing Lab but I am working on it.

More info and mod download at http://mods.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/245069-benjis-light-up-command-pods.

This is the first time I've made anything even remotely like a mod so please go easy on me. Thanks to @Ven as most of the files in this mod are based off of his Stock Part Revamp. I'm hoping that overtime I will use more of my stuff.

Man these lights are very nice!

Thanks. As I said, most of that is Ven's work. I will be doing some more though to add lights to other things like docking ports and possibly antennas. @ShotgunNinja

Hold on. Those hitchhiker lights are already in Ven Stock Revamp and I never noticed them  What your mod change, eg: in that screenshot what is different?

I have a minor suggestion: do not use the > ' < character in the directory name. Just use BenjisLightupPods.

@ShotgunNinja Just added a license to the download as well as putting the license into the description on curse.

Nicely done. I have a question: does this add a toggable light to the stock (as in not Ven) pods? Or is this more like a repack with only the light-related parts of Ven? I'm asking because I can't figure that out from the screenshots. Anyway, looking forward for the antenna lights!

[Benji13]

I didn't include any of the added parts that Vens revamp has. This adds the lights on/light off toggle to all the stock parts and also adds new textures to them. Exactly the same as space plane parts. @ShotgunNinja

edit: Light up antennas could be a while away as I want to do light up docking ports first and I'm not that experienced at modding. 

Edit: I'll add some more screenshots as well, some showing the right click menu.

Docking ports lights will be very useful. For some strange reasons I always end up docking in shadow...

Same here. Been playing ksp for ages. Not once docked in the light.

Just in case anyone is ever looking for this, the link in the OP is broke since Curse changed its format.

Here's a current link that still works:
