Festive Scattergun skin removal

Hello! Recently I really want to try using my viewmodels on as scout but I have a S. Festive Scattergun so the lights are super distracting, is there any way I can continue to use my S Festive Scattergun (I love it so much) but remove the lights so it looks like the stock scattergun? I would prefer if it would work within sv_pure 2 (I think its 2 the one that comp uses that disables a lot of stuff)

I remember trying out a bunch of stuff from the tf2 fps improvement compilation a while ago and when I installed the hatless mod it removed the lights but I prefer hats to be on and back then I played with viewmodels off but now I want them on with the lights removed so I tried to just take some of the files from the hatless mod that I thought would remove the lights

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\cfgstuff\particles

I have 2 files "item_fx.pcf" and "item_fx_dx80.pcf"

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\cfgstuff\models\player\items\scout

6 files "xms_scattergun.dx80.vtx" "xms_scattergun.dx90.vtx" "xms_scattergun.sw.vtx" "xms_scattergun_v.dx80.vtx" "xms_scattergun_v.dx90.vtx" "xms_scattergun_v.sw.vtx"

After putting these files in I launched into tf2 and tried to play MGE but the lights were there so I was kinda sad and went to play some cp_orange and the lights were gone so I went back to MGE and the lights were gone and they stayed gone for a day or so and I was loving it but now they are back!

Anyone know what is going on? Thank you!

sv_pure will block your mod so it will only work on servers without sv_pure turned on, competitive servers have sv_pure set to 2 so no mods work, since it grabs all the files from the default vpks

I know this doesn't help, but why don't you just sell the S. Festive Scattergun/just get a regular S. Scattergun, or just play with viewmodels off? I don't understand how you can love a weapon that you have, but don't like to look at it? It sounds like a paradox ?_?

It was a Christmas present from a good friend, I enjoy having viewmodels on but the lights are distracting. Anyway I think I figured it out if I join a random pub before anything else the lights will be gone and then I can join any other server and they will be gone but if I join a comp server or an mge server first before the pub the lights will stay on no matter what.
