	Starting in June, instead of a ticket, Suffolk police may now offer vouchers you can take to a participating mechanic or auto body shop, to replace a faulty headlight, tail light, brake light or turn signal, as part of the &quot;Lights on!&quot; program. The program is&nbsp;aimed to foster better relations&nbsp;with police and the community.&nbsp;
