This example binds the 'o' key to a function that toggles the taxi's light on and off, if you're in a taxi.

function toggleTaxiLight()
   local theVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
   if theVehicle then
      if localPlayer == getVehicleOccupant(theVehicle, 0) then -- if is a driver
   local id = getElementModel(theVehicle) -- getting vehicle model
   if ((id == 420) or (id == 438)) then -- if is a taxi
      local lights = isVehicleTaxiLightOn(theVehicle) -- getting vehicle lights state
      setVehicleTaxiLightOn(theVehicle, not lights) -- switch lights
   end
      end
   end
end
bindKey("o", "down", toggleTaxiLight) -- binding the function
