License Plate Lights

So maybe I'm nit-picky or something but did anyone else receive their F3X with two different color light bulbs?

The photo be hard to tell but the one on the left is clearly yellow when looked at outside of the vehicle. Makes me cringe every time I see it illuminate at night!

I called Stevens Creek BMW and asked them about it and was told, "Oh yeah, just go into Settings and Lighting and you can change your light bulbs to any color you want. Like 20 different colors."

...and yes, I reassured them I was talking about the exterior license plate bulbs and they insisted I could change the bulb color in the settings...

Yeah the colors are a bit different. So why didn't you just go into the settings and change them?

Haha, yeah I'll get right on that, I was told to check the onboard manual for further instructions to change any LED bulb color in the vehicle. Didn't know I got myself a Ford Fiesta lol.

Not entirely sure who that is... apparently he is some forum troll? I don't know what he used to post and I know I'm new but I'm not trying to be ridiculous. I was just seeing if anyone else got an F30/F32 with some scrap discolored bulbs thrown in and I thought what the Steven's Creek BMW told me was just too good!
Anyways, what did he do and how should I steer clear from giving this "travelbro" impression?

Travelbro was just a troll. He'd post a thread with a (possibly) serious inquiry, and when no one would respond after say, 5 minutes, he would respond to himself, and then keep the conversation going between him and himself. I think it turned out to be a conversation between himself and two of his alter egos !

The thread is gone now since he's been banned, but it was quite comical while it lasted.

He had three names and was banned under each name. Great times.

Oh gosh, I wish I could have seen his posts, that sounds hilarious! Three times is pretty desperate for someone who wants to post to himself. Haha
