I'm trying my damnedest to get any lightbar to work for car models for a fivem server. Unfortunately (as I'm finding out) the modding game has changed so much to the point where all I can use are developer parts since 99% of car models are locked nowadays.

I am trying to use the whelen freedom II or any of the lightbars located on this website. The problem that I am having is that with that lightbar and everything else, nothing is mapped and is unfinished. Finding tutorials on trying to get lightbars working for FiveM/Non ELS is scarce.

I am able to get dummies working in order to get the base lights to work but the emissives aren't appearing. Are there tutorials on how to get lightbars working just for GTA V in general? I'm running into a ton of roadblocks trying to get back into this developer scene again.

UPDATE: Emissives are working, but the lighting pattern is not.

The goal is to do the painstaking task of getting 3 vehicles (CVPI/Charger/FPIU) rebadged as lore models (this is the only way staff will allow these on the FiveM server I am a part of) with working lightbars.

Seems like setting the emissives up top on the material browser made them appear (not sure if the color lightbar will make them show up as well), but they're not flashing the way they should.

I should also mention I am trying to make Otaku's Whelen Freedom work for all of these cars.
