If you have installed a car model or car pack and noticed that the vehicle's headlights shut off when you activate the emergency lights, you can resolve this issue by following these steps:
1. Locate the carvariations.meta file.
2. Change the light settings value to 1. For added compatibility, especially if it is a replacement vehicle slot (like police or police2), you may also want to set the siren settings to 13.
The most common carvariations.meta file can be found in the following directory:
mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/mpchristmas2/dlc/common/data
In the carvariations.meta file, make sure to include the following lines:
```xml
<lightSettings value="1" />
<sirenSettings value="13" />
```
This should fix the issue with the headlights turning off.
Note that the police and police2 car variations are hard-coded and cannot be changed unless you manually add them to a new DLC Pack folder, such as mpchristmas2. An example for the police car slot is as follows:
