Are there any mods that increase the brightness of emergency lights but not headlights and brake lights? RadiantV is good but i dont like what it does to other lights. on a motorcycle at night you cant even see where youre going. It also makes the dash board lights and radio in some add on cars really bright but not in a good way. Are there any mods that only work for emergency lights? Some of the police cars I have are really dim and need a mod to brighten them. I already have ELS but i want the lightbar itself to appear brighter.

To cherry-pick your post a little, it's impossible to increase brightness of emergency lighting without increasing the brightness of dashboard backlighting - the two are linked together on the same variable. Headlights and taillights are separate from that.

 

It's been a while since I touched mine, so I've long since forgotten what file and what value you'd need to change to adjust your emergency lighting's emissive brightness, but perhaps someone can chime in with that answer.

https://ibb.co/QrYJVns this is what im talking about. I found a mod that dims all other lights but makes emergency lights brighter but it still makes the screens in cars super bright. Is there any way to fix this or am i just going to have to deal with it?

The lightbar emissives and the dashboard emissives are linked. It is impossible to change one without changing the other, without texture editing; texture-editing the dashboard emissives is unwise at best, and complex at worst.

The light it puts on the environment is fine because i have ELS its just the radio lights and stuff in civilian cars. i posted a screen shot in my other reply. But if its impossible to fix i guess ill just deal with it. thanks.

If you want to make some emis lights such as a dashboard or computer screen dimmer open the texture in a program such as paint.net or photoshop, create a new layer above the texture and make it solid black, set its transparency down and then save it. Of course make sure to create a backup, I cannot say how transparent the layer should be, it depends on the specific texture.

im fine with completely removing the the screens in the vehicles if i can. Can you link a youtube video on how to do this?

Im really liking this mod so far but I have to be within 10 feet of the cop car for it to become brighter. is there any way to extend the range?

You can't completely remove them, simply dimming them through the method I stated is your best bet, I do not have a youtube video on how to do so, you just need a slight bit of knowledge with paint.net or something like it. As for the distance, I'm not sure, I only use lore friendly mods which rarely have issues of any kind.
