Can anyone help by suggesting some lighting tips?

I've been working at rendering a more realistic version of my little 4-wide fire
engine.  I've gotten it to look much better than my first attempts, which did
not use radiosity and were quite cartoonish.

So... here's where I'm at so far:

I think it's obvious, the front is just way too dark, but I can't seem to figure
out how to set the lights to illuminate it.

If it helps, here is the .pov file I used to create the render above:

I have played around with the light settings, both position and quantity of
them.  Nothing has seemed to improve the picture.  Does anyone have any
suggestions for direction or types of lighting that would help a render like
this?  And also, anything that might help to optimize the red color, since
that's the primary color of the model?

Thanks in advance, for any advice that anyone can provide.

Best regards,
Allan B.

(...) Have a look at Jeroen's POV Radiosity includes at (URL) It's great, despite the long render times. --Orion (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
