Yellow is designated for GTLM and GTD classes. White are Prototype/DPi classes. It dates back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Different colored lights are critical because drivers will flash them when they want to make a pass. In the instance of the Prototypes/DPis they can run upwards of 20mph faster in the straights. As a GTLM car seeing white headlights in your mirror you know they are going to be faster and may be coming on at a greater rate of speed than a competitive GTLM or GTD car with yellow lights in your mirror.
Another fact to know which cars are GTLM vs GTD; pro class cars (GTLM) feature red number backgrounds, windshield banners, mirrors, leader lights, and wing end plates while the pro-am class cars (GTD that features a pro driver and amateur driver) use the color green.
