This function is used to find out whether the lights of the vehicle are on.

Note

This is different to getVehicleOverrideLights because this function will return true if the lights were turned on by natural causes. Unless setVehicleOverrideLights is used, vehicles always automatically disable their lights at 06:25 and enable them at 20:26.
