What happened?

The reason seems to be that CarScript::EEItemDetached only calls LightsOff on server, but UpdateLights is called imediately for both server and client. The headlights then only turn off when entering the vehicle.

Tested working fix is to move the LightsOff call out of the IsServer() check.

Reproduction steps

  1. Turn on car headlights (engine off).

  2. Get out of car.

  3. Take battery out of car.

  4. Headlights stay on until entering the car again.

Exact build version (optional)
1.30
Where did it happen?
Local / Offline
Is it modded?
No
Expected result

Headlights should turn off once the battery is removed.
