With all due respect, you're less likely to get a better response if your post spends more time describing how long you've been trying to find an answer then what your question actually is. As far as I can tell you don't mean the dummies, you mean actually getting the headlights to use illuminated textures when in game. This is very simple - export the headlight texture from the vehicles.txd file in models/generic in Targa .tga format. The texture is called something like vehiclelights128.tga, you don't need the one called vehiclelights128on.tga. Now load this texture up to your material in Max, and skin the model using a portion of the texture. All you need to do now is export your model once finished in the usual way, and you don't have to add vehiclelights128.tga to your car's txd. As long as you keep the texture's filename the same, the game will load it out of the vehicles.txd when in game, and switch the texture around in exchange for the on one to give the illuminated effect.
