It is probably a grid texture. Open it up in W3d viewer so you can see the texture names and then locate all of them in always.dat.

-post deleted, I found the solution I was looking for-
It doesnt involve any grid texture.
What you need is
and a small, 1 pixel wide texture with your flash pattern.
Create a plane, hit M, and do this.
At this point my gmax crashed. No save. Anyway...
Texture 1 is the flash. Texture 2 the gradient.
This "should" work.

The crash was no serious issue, I just didn't feel like recreating this sample.
The last stap should be pretty simple.
Stage 0 Texture: lightflash.tga
Stage 1 Texture: gradient.tga
Hit apply, and you're done.
You dont need to do anything else when working with just one plane.
-edit-
You could give gradient.tga some funky colors to create a light that changes color all the time.
You can also play with the Detail Color on the shader tab.
Set it so something else than scale to achieve random effects.

i only attached the sun.tga texture and it works 
i tried it on one of my vehicles and it looks pretty good! i only didnt place them in the right spot yet and it doesnt flashes as you wanted but that doesnt matter because it works
if your renx keeps crashing i might be able to do it for you (if you explain how to add the other little pic you sended to make it flashing).
