I tried true but when the takedowns are activated they shine backwards and with takedown activated the ALPR Spawns, when the takedowns are turned off, they unload. It's really confusing. I'll try to edit and attach pictures in the morning as I'm currently at work.
I'm not sure what's different between your files and mine. The ALPR doesn't spawn on the hood of my car unless the scene lighting is turned on, even if I go to vehicle component and add component 12 it just turns on the scene lighting. I've also changed the .xml to "false" for the mirrored and no change. Not to mention my takedowns are actually my spotlight, a lot of small bugs i'm trying to figure out.
