Underbody lights using props and spotlights

So i'm trying to make underbody lights work as a proof of concept that I can later tune to my needs, however the props code seems to be somewhat unpredictable in its behaviour. Code below:

Code:

{
"coupe_neon": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"ItsJustCurtis",
        "name":"Neons",
        "value":500,
    }
    "slotType" : "coupe_towhitch",
"props": [
    ["func"      , "mesh"              , "idRef:", "idX:", "idY:"            , "baseRotation"        , "rotation"                 , "translation"        , "min", "max", "offset", "multiplier"]
    {
        "lightInnerAngle":0
        "lightOuterAngle":180
        "lightBrightness":1
        "lightRange":10
        "lightColor":{"r":255, "g":255, "b":255, "a":255}
        "lightAttenuation":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}
        "lightCastShadows":true
        "flareName":"vehicleHeadLightFlare"
        "flareScale":0.5
        //"cookieName":"vehicles/coupe/neons/coupe_neon.DDS"
        "texSize":512
        "shadowSoftness":0.5
    }
   
    ["running"    , "SPOTLIGHT"        , "rb5r", "rb5l", "fb4rr", {"x":180, "y":0, "z":0} , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}    , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, 0, 0, 0, 1, {"baseTranslation":{"x":0.35, "y":0.0, "z":0.05},"lightRange":180,"lightBrightness":1,"flareScale":0.1}], 

    ["running"    , "SPOTLIGHT"        , "rb5r", "rb5l", "fb4rr", {"x":180, "y":0, "z":0} , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}    , {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, 0, 0, 0, 1, {"baseTranslation":{"x":0.65, "y":0.0, "z":0.05},"lightRange":180,"lightBrightness":1,"flareScale":0.1}], 

],

}
   
}

At present, this results in the below:



I had it working briefly, with the .DDS file showing correctly in the reflection on the ground, but adding a second source caused this odd behaviour of a beam of light that follows the camera. At first I put that down to an all white .DDS, or the game failing to read the .DDS, however there are no errors in the console when previously it would tell me if it was unable to read it. I have re-created and resaved the .DDS so that file is definitely okay.

I've tried reading the props and spotlight positioning wikis, however neither of them seem to go into detail on exactly what properties each argument changes, or any troubleshooting and how the game responds to certain coding errors, so I have no idea where to even start looking.

 

Make sure the reference nodes you chose for spotlight positioning are not moving themselves, otherwise the cross product of the vectors will move, in turn moving the light source.

Also check orientation of the light source (baseRotation and translation).

 

The nodes I've used are at the corners of the car on the bumpers, however I have had it working no issue with those, even being able to rip off the bumpers and it just followed the bumper The rotation and translation values haven't changed either since the last time it was working so I'm not sure that is the issue either :/
