Car lights

[TheCowMoo]

If you look at any of the photos for the game or real life in the US, you see police cars with mostly red and blues, with yellow mixed in. However, in game, all the lights are blue and white. I think changing this would make it feel much more realistic as far as it being based in the US. I also think red and blue on buildings at night looks great.

This game uses a city based on Boston, Massachusetts. MA police run all blues.

Wrong. Alot of cities in the US use blue and white.

It depends on each US State and possible city restrictions regarding emergency light colors for each kind of service.
E.g. NYC has red / white as standard emergency lights and blue (next to red and amber) is shown on rear only for police vehicles (exception is given for federal law enforcement, volunteers... etc).
Furthermore there are some regions/agencies with red only, blue only, mixed on both sides, minor one steady red to front (CA wide) and so on.

On the photos for the game, all the lights are both colors. I would enjoy having the option of red lights at least.

It is ironically a running joke cops from different states make at each others expense.
"Hey Bill what is it like when your lights are on? I am a cop, I am a fire dog, I am a cop, I am a fire dog?"
"I dunno John do you will ever get a job outside of the Kmart blue light special?"

I know in my city it is all blues, my County sheriff is R&B then my state police (MICHIGAN, USA) in mainly reds with maybe 2-3 small led R&B flashers so
