Anyone speak legalese?

I'm looking at importing a classic car from Switzerland, however the original owner lived on the border of France and Switzerland and knew he would be in France a lot, so had the car spec'd and delivered from the factory with French spec yellow headlamps.

I think this link is the federal regulations regarding headlamps, and it states they have to be white:

This is the link to the Texas Public Law on headlamps required, but it does not state they have to be white. It specifies heights that differ from the federal regulations also:

https://texas.public.law/statutes/te...ection_547.321

Does that mean the Texas regulations supersede the federal ones? Or am I still going to have trouble with yellow headlights even though the car came from the factory that way?
