Hello community. I just want to know if this is where I would put questions about carcols. Is it here or the GTAV part of the forum. Its a question about where custom carcols go. I have not a clue to where they go. LOL. Best I get is sirens work but not the lights on my add on cars that come with custom carcols. Thank you ahead of time.

The carcols file of the most police cruisers are found into update(or mods/update)/update.rpf/x64/data. There you can find the file responsible with the most lighting effects regarding cars.

Thank you. Can u tell me where exactly where in the carcols.meta custom carcols go? Like after Sirens or Lights? I've added them everywhere but the lights are still not working on any of the addon cars i've installed.

If you use addon cars you should put the carvariations.meta in the right place eg. (mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/addon/dlc.rpf/common/data) without this file they probably wont work.

Thank you CoLT. Greatly appreciated!

Most add on non ELS vehicles comes with Carcols files do you just drag and drop here or does it replace the file or what? Also are they all different and what I mean is if I change this with a file that comes with car X will the file that came with car Z no longer work? I'm having this same problem I cant get lights to work on any non ELS vehicles I install.

I install the carvariatons in the right spot and I use the Carvariation files supplied if there is one supplied for each individual vehicle some have them some don't just depends on the siren settings the developer has for certain light settings for the vehicle, even with installing carvariations correctly without the carcols file in the right place the lights don't work
