So I have a clean install of GTA V and tried putting ELS into the game. My issue is ELS is working but I cannot get any of the lights to work. Now before you go telling me to check all the files, I have already done that. All files are where they are suppose to be. I get in game and the only thing that seems to work is ELS itself. The lights will not come on. I have noticed the rear tail lights of some vehicles will be flashing but not bright at all. Any ideas? Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled every program such as scripthookV and ELS and so on and so forth.

Have all of you verified if AdvancedHookV.dll is in your main GTA V directory?

i fixed it. Make sure that it is not turned off by bressing Scroll lock. If it beeps when you press Scroll Lock then you turned it on and it should work.

nope dosen't work i even uploaded a newly released els car model no lights only siren

This worked for me click link and thank him if you'd like to.

Hmmm this is an interesting one... try this... in OpenIV, go to ASI Manager and uninstall ASI Loader and OpenIV.ASI and then click install again to reinstall them. Then restart the PC, then try loading into the game again and see if that works. If it still not working, please post the ASI log and ELS log files, and we'll go from there.

I will try this now and will let you know what happens.. wish me luck!!

I think your guys' problem is due to the tinting effect of ELS vehicles, which is random it seems. If ELS is functioning normally outside of the light issue itself, then this seems like the aforementioned tinting problem, where the tint blankets the lights/lightbar and other areas of the vehicle. A good indication that it is the tint is that the rear/front headlight/taillights will work, but the rest either seem abnormally dim or just don't function at all.

 

To fix this go into OpenIV, all the way to update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5, find the vehicles.meta file and extract that to your desktop so you can edit it and don't forget to obviously put it back once you're done editing it. Once you do this, open it with notepad, find the vehicle you're experiencing the problem with and edit the following value  "<diffuseTint value"  once you find that, edit it to look like this:  <diffuseTint value="0x00FFFFFF" />

 

It seems ELS is very finicky with certain car models, a lot of car modelers also have included the above .meta fix in their mods. Though, if you decide to use the provided .meta fix from a mod, it will replace your current .meta file which means if you have multiple vehicles suffering from this problem, you'll lose your work -- so editing the.meta file yourself is the best bet. 

 

Hopefully this helps those who are experiencing this issue.

Unfortunately, tinting isn't the issue.  I use a custom vehicles meta for all my standalone cars (ELS cars included), and this meta already has the diffusetint value you listed.  I actually had this very same issue happen to me last night.  ELS just randomly broke again.

Odd. I'm wondering if it's vehicle specific, all of my ELS cars currently installed are 100% functioning as they should be, no issues. Though prior to this, I had a 'Sheriff pack' installed of which all but 1 of the vehicles had the blacked out lightbar effect that you guys are experiencing. While the above "fix" I stated did work for me on a previous ELS Police pack, the way I do it now is through the simple native trainer by disabling the actual car tint. (Granted this way doesn't fix the AI ELS vehicles), so it's annoying either way you cut it.  Thinking it's a combination of ELS and the vehicles themselves, though like I said I've had success with a lot of different ELS vehicles without the issues pertaining above.

I've never had the blacked out lightbar, but I have had instances where my ELS lights simply will not turn on, yet ELS itself works.  At least for us, there's no way to really say "this is for sure the problem."  ELS overall needs to be ironed out big time.

Ah. I might of misread the OP. I thought he said ELS worked, but only certain parts of it. This is true though, ELS, much like in GTAIV in its infancy had a lot of issues to be ironed out. Though it's a lot more polished and well rounded in GTAV, but every mod has its hiccups, even the best of them.
