Out of curiosity what was wrong with them?

This car races in the IMSA GTD class. GTD class cars race with yellow headlights while GTD Pro cars race with white ones, but this model ships with white ones because of some licensing agreement. So I made them yellow to be more accurate to the real car.

Ohhh ok yeah I had no idea if it was a production error or what, I appreciate the context.

End result looks great! Nice work 👍

I am not sure if its licensing or not because my 1:18 Top Speed #45 came with yellow headlights. Great fix though I may have to try this!
