Can someone explain to me what glowing colors are and how they work in game
And also what is the TRUCKA-TRUCKB conversion

In unit* palette, the last 16 colors except the last one are the glowing colors.
These colors are not affected by the lighting in the game, so when it is dark
in the map, those look glowing. Typically used in building light animations,
infantry firing etc.

TruckA/B are the unloaded and loaded trucks. By using script action 44 and
45, one gets replaced by the other. Graphically it looks like a truck got
transformed from loaded to unloaded or the reverse.

Important to note: The 'loading' looks more convincing if the VXLs look the part

Okay so that's why some of my buildings have weird pixels in a dark map.
Is TruckA/B a true unit conversion or just image change

Unlike the water image change, TruckA and TruckB are separate units, so
it is a unit replacement. It is a special case and the converted unit is maintained
in the same task force or team, so that further script actions can be executed.

So a TRUCKA turns into TRUCKB and vice-versa not just visually? And the game doesn't mess up from these replacements?
Interesting...
