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)

I figured out how to do it.

Your setup2.xml file should look like this:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SSetupData> <deviceName>dlc_jzersche</deviceName> <datFile>content.xml</datFile> <timeStamp>00/00/0000 00:00:00</timeStamp> <contentChangeSetGroups> <Item> <NameHash>GROUP_STARTUP</NameHash> <ContentChangeSets> <Item>jzersche_AUTOGEN</Item> </ContentChangeSets> </Item> </contentChangeSetGroups> <type>EXTRACONTENT_COMPAT_PACK</type> <order value="99" /> </SSetupData>

Notice order value is 99, this can be an even higher number and your models will replace in 99th priority.


In content.xml, you should have a line like this
 
<Item> <filename>dlc_jzersche:/%PLATFORM%/vehicles.rpf</filename> <fileType>RPF_FILE</fileType> <locked value="true" /> <overlay value="true" /> <disabled value="true" /> <persistent value="true" /> </Item>
persistent should be true, and so should overlay and locked value.
 

Prior to ELS, I never saw a car model on here that didn't specify the siren or provide carvariations/documentation if it wasn't sirenSetting 1... now with ELS, the sirenSetting doesn't matter.

The documentation included with ELS has a section dedicated to that, so that should be your first port of call.
 
There may also be various tutorials on this site, and maybe youtube.

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

Well, that explains that. Thanks.

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