I'm guessing they have no internals and the lens is fitted just to fill the gap which would have been left if you just removed the headlamp.

Painted black so that you don't see into the engine bay with the bonnet closed and also black and yellow theme to the graphics?

I know that ffs. The point was that he saw a problem with the engine as if it was for cosmetic reasons only. Nevermind

looking at the car, rather than the engine, its colour, decal, blackheadlights i would say its a track day car, now looking at engine this idea seem stronger as it would appear to be set up with RWD

- to answer headlight question, if the above is correct, dont need lights on the race track!
