For red, increase the red values & decrease the green & blue values.
For the greenish filter, maybe in the 'timecycle_mods_1/2/3/4.xml' files in the timecycle folder:
Example:
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\timecycle\timecycle_mods_1.xml
You'll just have to hunt through likely timecycle modifiers & edit them & test in game until you find the right one.
@Mansxr
Thermal vision values are the 'seeThrough' ones in 'visualsettings.dat': 
Example: (vanilla values)
# See Through
seeThrough.PedQuadSize 0.35
seeThrough.PedQuadStartDistance 0
seeThrough.PedQuadEndDistance 1500
seeThrough.PedQuadScale 12
seeThrough.FadeStartDistance 50
seeThrough.FadeEndDistance 1100
seeThrough.MaxThickness 10000
seeThrough.MinNoiseAmount 0.25
seeThrough.MaxNoiseAmount 1
seeThrough.HiLightIntensity 0.5
seeThrough.HiLightNoise 0.5
# seeThrough.ColorNear
seeThrough.ColorNear.red 0.06
seeThrough.ColorNear.green 0.02
seeThrough.ColorNear.blue 0.14
# seeThrough.ColorFar
seeThrough.ColorFar.red 0.03
seeThrough.ColorFar.green 0.05
seeThrough.ColorFar.blue 0.16
# seeThrough.ColorVisibleBase
seeThrough.ColorVisibleBase.red 0.78
seeThrough.ColorVisibleBase.green 0
seeThrough.ColorVisibleBase.blue 0
# seeThrough.ColorVisibleWarm
seeThrough.ColorVisibleWarm.red 0.85
seeThrough.ColorVisibleWarm.green 0.65
seeThrough.ColorVisibleWarm.blue 0
# seeThrough.ColorVisibleHot
seeThrough.ColorVisibleHot.red 0.95
seeThrough.ColorVisibleHot.green 0.99
seeThrough.ColorVisibleHot.blue 1
Edit the 'seeThrough.Color' values to change the colour.
Note:
Just so you are aware, to get the background detail (darker grey environment detail etc) to show up, you have to have to have Ambient Occlusion turned on (Medium/High etc) in the in-game settings.

You can find those values for '0_default_modkit' in 'carcols.ymt':
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\carcols.ymt

Install the wheel textures to all of the 'vehshare.ytd' files in your 'mods' folder.
Hit Ctrl+F3 in OpenIV & search your 'mods folder only' for 'vehshare.ytd' to find them all & make sure all of them are identical & contain exactly the same textures (best way is to create one 'vehshare.ytd' that contains all of the textures you need & then use that file to replace all the others).
If that doesn't fix it, search your vanilla game folder for 'vehshare.ytd' & copy over to your 'mods' folder any additional '.rpf' archives that contain 'vehshare.ytd' & do the same to them as well (just copy the 'vehshare.ytd' '.rpf' archives that you don't already have in there obvs, be careful not to overwrite any pre-existing & previously edited 'mods' folder '.rpf' archives).
By default, the vanilla game has 4 'vehshare.ytd' locations ('mods' folder locations shown here):
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\x64e.rpf\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\x64w.rpf\dlcpacks\mpbeach\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\mpbeachvehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchdayg9ecng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday27ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd
Other mods can add 'vehshare.ytd' files as well, so also add the textures to any other 'mods' folder 'vehshare.ytd' files you find when you search.
vfxlightningsettings.xml
Ctrl+F3 in OpenIV & 'search your 'mods' folder only' to find it etc. If you find more than one, the one in 'update.rpf' will be the one loaded by the game .
'vfxlightningsettings.xml' values:
Try reducing the '<lightningOccurranceChance' value to start with & see if you get what you want just editing that alone.
If not, you can also delay cloud bursts with the multiple <DelayMin/Max values (2 of them. Bigger values = happen less often etc) & reduce <BurstSeqCount multiple values (3 of them) to have less bursts in a row.
I’d prefer to have the textures located in a different rpf if possible.
Adding to what @JohnFromGWN said. Yeah, that's totally possible .
Basically, as long as the '.ytd' & '.ydd' are set up correctly, the game/'.ydd' will find the textures wherever you place them in the game. All that's really needed is that they are named correctly & are loaded by the game, the game will do the rest & find them & apply them automatically etc.
Follow @JohnFromGWN's advice & copy something pre-existing. The easiest way to do that is often to download a mod that does similar & adapt that to your needs. Much easier than trawling through 1000's of vanilla files to figure it out etc.
@suleimano03
Generally, you would use GIMS EVO for that, but it has to support the version of 3DS MAX you are using (or rather, you need to use a copy of 3DS MAX that GIMS EVO supports).
That^ linked GIMS EVO (v1.5.2018) supports 3DS MAX 9 (with Service Pack 2 and "AvGuard DLX Extension") through to 3DS MAX 2017 (despite what description page says, 3DS MAX 2017 works also).
Anything newer than 3DS MAX 2017 & you'll have to hunt the internet for a version that works. Some exist, but I use 3DS MAX 2017, so don't have any up-to-date info on the newer ones etc
@Sanyika2004
Your bullet's 'vehicles.meta' '<audioNameHash> line looks like this yeah?
Example:
<Item>
<modelName>bullet</modelName>
<txdName>bullet</txdName>
<handlingId>BULLET</handlingId>
<gameName>BULLET</gameName>
<vehicleMakeName>VAPID</vehicleMakeName>
<expressionDictName>null</expressionDictName>
<expressionName>null</expressionName>
<animConvRoofDictName>null</animConvRoofDictName>
<animConvRoofName>null</animConvRoofName>
<animConvRoofWindowsAffected />
<ptfxAssetName>null</ptfxAssetName>
<audioNameHash>m297zonda</audioNameHash> <!-- 'm297zonda' added here, no duplicate '<audioNameHash>' lines, just one -->
<layout>LAYOUT_LOW_RESTRICTED</layout>
<coverBoundOffsets>BULLET_COVER_OFFSET_INFO</coverBoundOffsets>
<explosionInfo>EXPLOSION_INFO_DEFAULT</explosionInfo>
<scenarioLayout />
...
If you're still having issues after checking your work against that^, upload your 'vehicles.meta' to somewhere like https://www.mediafire.com/ & post the link here.
I'll add the '<audioNameHash>m297zonda</audioNameHash>' line & send it back to you working etc .
So, no issue with the 'dispatch.meta' file itself, your issue must be somewhere else 
I presume the 'Riot' spawns fine when you spawn it manually yeah? Check that, if not done so already.
Syntax check all the 'Riot's '.meta' files & make sure all the nessessary data actually exists (somewhere at least, if not in the files below etc):
By default they are:
handling.meta:
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\handling.meta
vehicles.meta:
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5\vehicles.meta
carcols.ymt:
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\carcols.ymt
carvariations.ymt:
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data\carvariations.ymt
vehiclelayouts.meta: (LAYOUT_RIOT_VAN)
...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\ai\vehiclelayouts.meta
Easy way to find syntax errors:
If you use 'Edit' (right-click file > 'Edit' (or hit 'Ctrl+Enter')) to open a file using OpenIV, a '[</> XML]' button will appear at the top when you are in the file. Tap that button & OpenIV will check the file for syntax errors & take you to where it thinks the error is, if it finds one.

My 'combat_tweaks.ini' is set up like this:
[Boat Weapons]
Enabled = 1
; Allows boats to use mounted weapons.
[Submarine Weapons]
Enabled = 1
; Enables the submarine weapons module
SubWeaponsAutoSwitch = 1
; Makes it so that an armed submarine will automatically switch between underwater weapons and surface weapons when it surfaces.
EnableDaytimeSearchlights = 1
; Makes it so that a submarine with a searchlight will shine it at all hours, not just at night
EnableAiWeaponUse = 0
; Broken, do not enable. WIP.
[Miscellaneous Tweaks]
EnableCopArrestsAboveOneStar = 0
; Enables Police to bust above 1 star. Metafile edits required. (Combattasks.ymt (Hostility Levels) & Combatbehaviours.meta (BF_CanBust flag for Swat Combat Behaviours).
DisableCopSixthSense = 0
; Last known position drags at a maximum distance 120m away from the player. Vanilla is snapped ontop of the player. (NOT RECOMENDED TO ENABLE, unless spawn distancing has been increased. Police spawn around LKP, not the player!)
[Wanted Radius]
Enabled = 0
; Enables GTA IV styled search perimeters. Can be customized through dispatch.meta. (DO NOT DISABLE USING DTAR, as it heavily relies on calculating difficulty based on your last known position!)
FlashGrayWhenNotSeen = 1
; When cops are looking for you, the wanted radius will flash gray instead of red/blue.
OutOfSightFlashRate = 1500
; How fast the search perimeter flashes in mili-seconds.
[Gas Mask Peds]
Enabled = 0
; Enables special handling of smokeproof peds
IgnoreSmokeClouds = 1
; Smokeproof peds will not react to clouds of tear gas
SmokeExplosionVisualRangeOverride = 10.0625
; In update.rpf:x64/data/metadata/explosion.ymt, the value of shockingEventVisualRangeOverride for the smoke explosions.
; Default is 10, but makes sense to make a subtle change so the script can ID smoke explosions. Hopefully will be removed
; in the future.
[Dispatch Tuning]
Enabled = 1
; Makes various tweaks to law enforcement dispatch
DisablePoliceAutomobileFlagRequirement = 1
; Removes the requirement for dispatched police cars and boats to have FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT.
RemoveSwatAutomobileRestriction = 1
; Enables use of any vehicle in DT_SwatAutomobile. By default, any vehicle except NOOSEVAN and CRUSADER will have
; the driver and 2 peds hanging off the sides (in seats 7 and 8).
DisableSwatStraphangers = 2
; 0: All SWAT vehicles but CRUSADER and NOOSEVAN have peds hanging off the side.
; 1: Only FBI2 and SHERIFF2 have peds hanging off the side; all other vehicles have peds sitting inside.
; 2: No vehicles have peds hanging off the side; SWAT always responds sitting down inside the vehicle.
FourManSwatCars = 1
; Enables 4 SWAT officers in cars. Does not apply to vehicles with cops hanging off the side.
DisableForcedAmbientCopLoadout = 1
; Cops will use their assigned loadout as defined in pedpersonality.meta instead of being forced to loadout_cop.
RandomizeVehicleOccupants = 0
; Experimental, may hurt performance. Ambient vehicles will randomly choose from all possible occupants in vehicles.meta
; instead of taking the first occupant.
The 'For light beams/light on environment:' section from last post is what really makes the light produced more focused/less wide & shining a further distance, try out those values (& edit/reduce the distance to whatever you want (if any performance issues). They're somewhat optimised, but still shine pretty far etc).
The headlight texture I'm using there is this one anyway (colour & shape edited):
You can download that exact texture here if you want it (also, you can rename it to whatever you want & import it into 'graphics.ytd' & it will work when set in the vehicle's carcols lights section (so you don't need to replace your original 'vehiclelight_car_standard70s' texture etc, just add as many new ones as you want, any names will do etc)).
Additionally, you can tweak the height the lights shine at for individual cars by editing the texture they use.
Like this etc:
Higher:
Lower: (like, a lot lower):
Create a range of them & then you can use whatever one you need to to fix any vehicles where the lights shine higher or lower than the rest of the cars you have installed etc.
