Advice On Changing Safetran C-Light Coronas?

Ok, so far I cloned the Safetran C-Light Signals for the Safetran 1,2,3 signal head gantry. In the config file of the cloned signals, I renamed them Safetran C-Light Signal Bright. Now, I want to take out the lights from those signals because they're not bright enough. You cannot see them from a distance. Oddly they're bright, from an angle or side view, but straight on? On.

So, my questions: What is the procedure? What do I replace in the Config file? What are the keywords in the config file I need to pay attention to or look for and what do I take out? I was going to use JMR Signal coronas. Are the coronas the only assets I replace?

I'm sure there are others out there who wanted to replace coronas that weren't bright enough. So I could use some help here. Other gantry signals, that do have bright lights, do not fit properly on the Safetran gantry. There are other gantries I have used, but the Safetran gantry sets are the most visually interesting. Thanks.
 
This indicates that the orientation of the attachment point in the mesh is wrong. But without knowing the KUIDs of the assets that's just a guess.

When I get a chance, I'll copy and paste the Config File of one of the Safetran C-Light Signals for you to look at when I get a chance. I don't know, may those C-Light Sigs weren't meant for distance visibility. I could be wrong of course.

I just sent you a PM. Do you want just the Kuid numbers because the Config File consists of 15,000 characters. - RR70

If you are concerned that the signal appears to be brighter from the side than from the front then check the orientation of the attachment point in the mesh. If it's wrong, change it and see if that helps. If it's right, look for the problem somewhere else.
If you would like someone else to check it for you then provide the KUID of the asset that demonstrates the problem.

Ok. When I go to the Config File, how do check the orientation of the attachment point to see if it's right or wrong? In other words, is there a key word for that? Then again I suppose all someone has to do, if they have the Safetran C-Light Signals (which is on DLS) and knows how to pinpoint inaccuracies, they may be able to see if quicker than me, especially if they have changed coronas in the past. If they even can be altered on these assets or not. I don't know at this time.
