In HMT go to the [bitm] tag and find ...umm vehicles\pelican\peilcan or something like that and click extract. Then open it in PS and find the window and color it all black then save is as the same DXT then go back to HMT and find the bitmap tag and click inject.

Extract the DDS for the pelican, use the lasso tool to select the window, edit>adjustments>contrast and brightness. and tint it.
