Looking for Render Feedback

Hey y’all! I am working on this render right now for fun, featuring an FHP police car! My plans are to have a character posed in the driver’s seat, a house in the background (so you don’t get the fall off the earth effect), and maybe some grass. I’m still not happy with the lighting though. Does anyone know what I could do to improve it? I’m looking to try to make it similar to the AMAZING renders done by people for the game, Emergency Response: Liberty County, as their lighting and design is astonishing. Any tips?

I’d also like a way to light the lights on the car if I can, emission isn’t working for some reason. (I’ll add lens flare in post)

Thanks in advance.
(Ignore the grain, it’s a preview render)

There are a few things we need to know before we think of a solution for the lighting, some questions you should ask yourself are Am I using a good HDRI? Can I find a better one? Does this one fit with the render or not? And although I may not seem like a person into graphics, I have made a lot of GFX for several groups.

I’m decently happy with the HDRI at the moment, I might change it up for one with a little more sky and actual color however.
