I'm aware this is a very common problem. I have tried several things.

 

This is what the vehicle is suppose to look like:

Any suggestions? 

Try this it worked for me !

try to go into openIV and unistall, ASI LOADER and OPENIV.ASI

 

then reinstall and restart computer.

 

i had a similar problem. my problem was my lights just wouldnt flash. but they would still turn one.

in your vehicles.meta file, find whatever model's lights are black, look for "diffuseTint value" and replace it with: <diffuseTint value="0x00FFFFFF" />

 

hope this helps

 

hang on i just saw you have done that. have you disabled tint with your trainer?

Tried, no change. I believe it is the model itself.

Two things:

 

1) Do your lights work on all other models?

 

2) When you turn on the lights, do you hear the clicking from ELS that verifies they are turning on?

Yes. They only slot that is affected is the sheriff2 slot. All over vehicles are fine. I also hear the ELS clicking and the sirens work as well.
