Different light source (LED's maybe?) or bulbs were replaced?

you could be right but i spoke to a guy and he had exactly the same spec m4 but hes lights were white, and then i see another m4 with the same as me, im confused as i kno there is diff light packs but with the cars being the same spec they were diff, confused lol

This, or upload the image to an external site, something like imgur, and then post that link.

They are probably Xenons. LEDs have a cleaner whiter look.

Yup - xenons have a "blue flash" and warm up when you flip them on - leds are instant on and white.

For example, here's what rabbits look like in xenons:

This is correct. Xenons produce a light that is a different color temperature/wave length vs the LEDs.

All those super exaggerated purple HID light bulbs that were popular for a minute, were trying to emulate the Xenon look when they first came out.
