When using scripting to turn on/off lights on a vehicle with light types, designating a side on lights is not functional except for ELight Type Hazard. See reproducibility for example code. Light action is configured via vehicle prefab's Light Manager Component. Lights are configured correctly by corresponding side. Only lights with type Hazard are respected by side.

Steps To Reproduce
The following works:
int leftSide = 0;
int rightSide =1;
BaseLightManagerComponent lightManager = BaseLightManagerComponent.Cast(pOwnerEntity.FindComponent(BaseLightManagerComponent));
if (lightManager)
{
lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Hazard, false, leftSide);
lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Hazard, true, rightSide);
}The following will turn on both lights:
... lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Head, false, leftSide); lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Head, true, rightSide); ...
The following will turn off both lights:
... lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Head, true, leftSide); lightManager.SetLightsState(ELightType.Head, false, rightSide); ...
Further, testing with additional sides (2, 3, etc) did not work.
Additional Information
Suspect that the engine is only processing sides for hazard light type. Another feature request was submitted to increase the number of potential light type enums, unifying the handler for light sides would alleviate the need for that feature request.
