You can only see that car's headlights since you are just focusing your eyes in it not in the entire car.

Your eyes adjust to the light by using an 'iris'. When bright light is shone into your eyes, the iris shuts down to protect your eyes. The surrounding area, especially behind the light, is many times darker.

Because your eyes have shut down the light, there is not enough light entering your eyes to see the darker areas.

Whiy did the french have yellow headlights on their cars?

The french had yellow headlights on their cars until the early 1990s because it was a regulation they had. It started in WW2, when the french resistance put yellow headlights on their cars so they could identify themselves from the Germans, and i guess it just stuck. Even if you entered France with your car from another country, you had to put yellow clip ons over your headlights. Also, yellow headlights supposedly give you better vision in rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions because the yellow light doesnt reflect off as much as white light. That's why you still see alot of yellow foglights on cars, and why many GT racing cars use yellow headlights as well.
