      Great question, possibly as some people have light sensitivity which can lead to headaches or migraines. It could be the way their brains detect light and it causes an effect on the activity in the brain which leads to the symptoms.

      I know that bright lights, glare and flickering are thought to be linked with migraines, so maybe this is why car lights sometime give people headaches
