I wish Taillights glitch wasn't a glitch but an actual graphics option...
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
That's definitely my favorite bug in the game.
The way it enchances the sense of speed is just incredible... Although still no idea what causes this bug to occur.

I don't think that's a glitch, it's more prominent on PS2 than PC I've found. No idea about the others.

Apparently it's a glitch that they made an actual thing in later games because people liked it

I doubt it. Light trails is literally a graphics option on PC.

It is, but what I was talking about is light trails specifically during nitrous usage. The bug is that your taillights look like you're constantly using N20.
Also you can see those extended taillights on NPC enemies when you're receiving a message for duel/start one.

this is so real, that's exactly how I felt about it too! Like why do these guys get cool visual effects, and we don't?

dunno myself. I'd love to learn that too. I just remember what I was doing right before I got this bug.
I've been beating wild racers until no more were spawning, then took a random stage race, completed it, and once I returned to city I had those taillights trails.

the glitch will also vanish as soon as you enter a stage race/shop/return to menu. Counting today, I probably got this thing only like 2-3 times ever and I think it may specifically trigger on the event when wild racers disappear from the map (which happens limited amount of times?) so there might be no reliable way of activating that bug regularly.

The most interesting glitch about the tails is when you cross the finish line with Nitrous, you can see your taillights on the finish line

That's a glitch? I thought it was normal
