My metallic textures usually have a phong value equal to half the
specular value, and low phong_size and roughness (a large, soft phong
highlight and tight specular highlight). This gives the illusion of a
visible light source (a bulb, the sun). Also I use metallic of
0.75-0.95 to see the light color a bit.
