I like the yellow color but perhaps white is more realistic.

I always regard train headlights to be yellow to be honest. I'll whiten it up a bit but I'm keeping it a yellow ish tone.

For me at least when you can see the direct headlight with a flare it's white in the middle but yellowish towards the end, but I guess that depends if it's incandescent or LED. Here is what I did, whitened it a bit but kept that yellow tone. I also played with the brightness and distance of the lights to make it more, at least to me, realistic.

Well its because either of the camera or the actual train. Usually at night they are White, but in day they hare Yellowish. And a mix between Yellow and White should do it.
To me, when I see a train with my own eyes, they are yellowish. But merciless245 got it right :)

I adjusted the colour but I don't know how to adjust the position. I'll take another look but I didn't see how before.

What ever happened with the project? Is there a download link for the repaint of the Dash 8 that was made by merciless245? And what about the headlight fix?

I wonder if I could have Buzz's DTG Miami Dash 8-40CW Texture Upgrade as a PM I know It's 6 years later but, I don't like the textures by DTG if you ask me. *!sad!* *!sad!* *!sad!* *!sad!*
