It deals with the lightbar configuration of emergency vehicles.

No, that's sirensettings.

Seems that lightsettings messes with the headlights, so I'm going to assume that Rockstar have a setting file somewhere that has a whole database of lightsettings, setting it to 992 gave me no headlights, and setting it to 2 gave me headlights.

I figured it out, just like sirensettings controls the lightbars, lightsettings controls all the vehicles exterior lighting (headlights, interior lights, taillights, reverse, etc)

You can actually specify those settings with an id value inside of the carcols file.

There's an example, the fugitive has lightsettings 75!

So if you apply lightsettings="75" in carvariations, to any vehicle, it will use those settings. (theoretically)

True, but that doesn't have the variations entries for the models, so I was just wondering how the value the Fugitive was figured out. I guess just comparing values to the in-game appearance?

Lightsettings come from carcols.ymt. Each light setting has an id number and a <name>, the 75th one happens to be <name>fugitive</name>

Customization is key to my gaming experience. I take pictures, do textures and lore-friendly vehicles. 
Recent releases: Oracle, Radius, Pony. See all.

Yeah, I got it from the carcols.ymt file. Anyone programming savvy willing to relay what the process of figuring out how to open unknown files like YMTs for example involves? Like as a developer, where do you even start, what are some of the first things you need to know in order to figure out how a file like the YMT files could be opened and read?

I didn't make a new topic for this question, because I didn't think it would get a good response, but if anyone knows, please tell me lol.
