The singleplayer missions are located in 'maps01.mix', which can be found on the GDI disc. You can open MIX files with XCC Mixer and then open the map by right-clicking it and clicking 'Open in FinalSun', although you might have to extract the map first because XCC Mixer normally copies a map to the folder the MIX file is located in to open it in FinalSun (and since 'maps01.mix' is on a disc, this won't work).
I understand what you're trying to do with the lights and I believe I've done this myself in the past, but I'm afraid I forgot how (I think I might've used degrees for this, but on that map both light towers have 64 degrees selected). I just had a look at the map myself and it doesn't give away any clues on how to do this either for as far as I can see, but maybe I overlooked something.
I do have a an idea for a way you could achieve this anyway, but it's probably a little more complicated than how it was done on that map (and likely also a bit less practical): Crate a trigger which is attached to 1 of the light tower and have it turn the building offline right when the game starts (use '08 Any event' as the event for this) and then have it turn the light tower back on again a little later. So you'll have to time it exactly right to make it look like the lights of the 2 light towers move synchronized, but mirrored.
Someone else might come along with a simpler solution soon however.
