Checking LOS? Checking range? Rolling to Hit? Rolling to Wound? Allocating....well, I think you get the point.When you fire a weapon, you roll to hit, wound, allocate, make saves, etc. This is all part of firing the weapon. You don't stop at any point. So you would fire all the vehicle's weapons, then, after that was complete, decide if you want to use the searchlight to illuminate the target. If you choose to do so, then it is illuminated for all other firing from other units.
