This example gets the name and the position of the components and outputs it in the chat.
addCommandHandler("vcp", -- short for 'vehicle component position'
    function()
        local theVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
	local getComponent = getVehicleComponents(theVeh) -- returns table with all the components of the vehicle
        if (theVeh) then
            for k in pairs (getComponent) do
		local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, k)
                outputChatBox("Position of "..k.." is"..x.." "..y.." "..z)
            end
        end
    end

local showComponents = false
bindKey("F5", "down", function() showComponents = not showComponents end)

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    if not showComponents then return end

    for _, veh in pairs(getElementsByType("vehicle", root, true)) do
        for compname in pairs(getVehicleComponents(veh)) do
            local x, y = getScreenFromWorldPosition(getVehicleComponentPosition(veh, compname, "world"))

            if x then
                dxDrawText(compname, x, y, 0, 0)
            end
