i doubt it.. from what i understand, in those races, the different headlights are for the other drivers to distinguish the different classes on the track.. i could be wrong, but i know they dont use those yellow headlights for aesthetics..

its these cars, the flat crazy ones that have the xenon lights..and the other ones have yellow.

No, the C5 (Corvette), Vipers (some of them) Saleen S7R, and the 550 Maranellos run in a class called GTS. The class above them is LMP 675, and above them is LMP 900 (This is where the Audi, and Panoz (the red car pictured above), and few other cars race, like the now defunct Cadillac LMP).

They run yellow lights, as was stated, to differentiate them from the higher classes when racing at night. As far as I know, only white lights are legal as primary headlights. Yeah, the yellow lights look cool, but do you really want more attention from the cops?
