The headlights dont flash on the newer vehicles unless the siren is on. All 3 of our light tankers and 3.4 are like this..

Ahhh that might explain why Darlington Light Tanker 2's lights weren't flashing at an incident. :P

they had parked the pump on the side of yangebup road and it was there for ages and got dark quick so yeah only the emergency lights were on.

and fastlane is correct on all newer vehicles the healights flash when under firecall ie sirens activated and no headlights on

i have noticed that some police cars do it when even just the emergency lights are on.
