wait, if it's not possible, then why do player's lights work in vehicles?
i have an idea, a bot that is mounted to the vehicle, like the tank turret. the bot cannot be mounted and if you press a button like spacebar or something it will trigger the light.

I'm pretty sure it's because that light is mounted to a player object. In fact I remember reading somewhere about the player light being an exception, hard coded witchcraft or something.
SailorMan:
There are police car lights ._.

Vehicle lights are pretty much possible, but they might not be as good as you want them.
Basically, there would be a bot mounted in front of the headlights. It would have two bones, one for corona or flare image and another one for the actual light.
The problem is, it won't detect if there's a wall in front of you, thus someone will end up seeing random sources of lights if that person behind that wall.
Dexxtter:
I saw a jeep with headlights on Stratofortress' server once.
