    Hey man, I've been trying to get yellow headlights working on my IMSA expansion pack on RD.

    If don't mind could you send over or explain how to actually do this? I have only been able to sort the projection of yellow light on circuit and lenses as yellow on the Aston GTD as they included the files. Thanks in advanced

    The texture override xml template describes what you need to add for yellow headlights for each car, it's like 7 additional lines for the xml tag of a livery. The issue is that you don't get the dds files mentioned in the xml directly.

    I found a tool called PcarsTools, via command line you can extract the files in the pak files folder. There is a livery file of each car, you get most of the missing yellow light dds in it. One file you have to extract from the common textures pakfile.

    Once put into the livery override folder for a car and correctly linked they work (I put them in a subfolder called lights, so all liveries of a car can access it easily)

    Ah okay that does make sense since I was trying to use just the xml edits. I'll see if I can get hold of those files. Thanks for the explanation
