I'd like to talk about the pictures directly above this post, and this picture, that was shared a few posts ago.

LED taillights with red diodes have
no other wavelengths... The Ferrari in the pic here has red LED tails. They look a little pink, because they are bright enough to over-expose the camera sensor.
Most cars until recently have used clear, standard incandescent bulbs in the taillights, filtered to red through colored plastic. These taillights can be seen as orange, or yellow, in the right conditions, particularly darker conditions, and through a camera. The Huracan above has small clusters of LEDs in the inside-top of the tails. These are pink, like the Ferrari. The remainder of the clusters, and both tails of the Mustang ahead, are lit with white incandescents. While the primary color to the eye is red, there are plenty of infrared and yellow wavelengths that leak through the red taillight lens. Rather than over-expose the sensor into pink, and eventually white, like red LEDs will, the captured tone shifts to orange, or yellow.
Recognizing that taillights do appear (to cameras) as different colors than the lenses or convention would suggest, and Turn 10's effort to replicate that:
Problem #1: LED and incandescent tails need different low-light effects, even when present in the same housing (like the Huracan). The 720S shown above has red LED tails. They should
never render yellow, or orange. Only red, or pink-red.
Problem #2: FM7 renders taillights red in well-lit conditions, orange/yellow in dim conditions, and red again in dark conditions. The effect should be negatively correlated to ambient lighting. Dark conditions should have the strongest "taillights aren't pure red" effect.
Problem #3: My eyes aren't cameras. I could care less about this effect, outside of photo mode.
