Im not sure if i didnt explain it very well but thats what im doing at the moment. i explained in the third paragraph/ the problem is if i want to spawn more than one instance of one vehicle type eg bmw 5 series then they will all be using the same materials and so when i turn the headlights on in one vehicle they will turn on for all of the bmw 5 series’

Using a DynamicMaterialInstance created in the construction script of the vehicle to change value does not apply the change to every other vehicle. With that created you then use a “Set Scalar Parameter” node from the event graph to turn set the emmissive strength to turn it on or off. will only affect that instance of the vehicle, using a regular material instance will affect them all, but not a DynamicMaterialInstance.

You can see in action by placing multiple copies of the truck in the VehicleGame sample, each one is independent.
