Not that it doesn't use the head lights just that you don't really find any pictures with the head lights exposed. The car at Lemans would have had a large array of head lights for the night time running but they also had two different noses that they used during the race. One like we see in most all the pictures with no visible head lights and then they would have had a nose set up specificly for the night time running. They would only have installed the nose at dusk or at the last possible pit stop before lights were required. This would have been so that there was no chance to damage the lights during day time racing. The nose then was probably left on threw to the finish of the race.
I always thought the 300ZX with lights on it looked like an after thought. I like the way you are building it with the lights covered
