Are headlights for cars aimable? I was building a car, and accidently built in backwards (my steering wheel was in the back, trunk in the front. doh.) but one thing I realized is I was not able to aim the headlights. It tells me to, but nothing I did changed the direction they faced. Help?

Also, playing the experimental version. Downloaded 10/6

During the actual selection process what happens if you just select the square the headlight is in? 😛 Also not sure if many people realized you can use ^ towards a control without a seat to turn on and off some things, like headlights.
