As you may know light colors advance and dark colors recede and the red is drawing attention to all the shapes in the headlight which is in conflict with the smooth gentle lines of the outside of the car.

I think making the headlight recede with dark colors is more pleasing to the eye and provides just enough contrast to make the headlight look interesting rather than unsettling.

The white outline does delineate the headlights more which is not a bad thing.

I think of headlights like the eyes of a lady and the right coloring can make the difference between a sexy look or a disturbing look.

Most sexy looking eyes have dark accents. IMO

So literally, its what ever turns YOU on.
