for some reason when i replace police and police3, the lights are out of place when i turn them on. Police3 is the worst for some reason. Can someone please help?

This sounds like your sirenSettings value in the carvariations.meta is wrong (You have to enter your own, GTA V's default can't be accessed), E.g. police should be set as:

<lightSettings value="1" />
<sirenSettings value="13" />

And police3 would be:

<lightSettings value="1" />
<sirenSettings value="2" />

You'd put the vehicle's entry into a carvariations.meta file from somewhere like mpluxe2. You edit it via Notepad(Or Notepad++ If you have it).

For example you'd put this into \Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpluxe2\dlc.rpf\common\data\carvariations.meta\ for police.

Idk nothing is changing. I copied what you sent and put it into the file but nothing changed in game.

That's strange. What vehicle mod(s) are you trying to use?
