Exactly. The exhaust glow is much fainter in comparison to some of
those lights. The halation wouldn't be noticeable around those
objects.  One more clue that those "headlights" are really so much
brighter is the relatively large white area in their centers. The
light here was so bright, it has lost its color due to overloading the
film/sensor/retina of the viewer. The green exhaust on the other hand,
retains a pale green color even in the brighter areas. This means it
isn't bright enough to cause such desaturation.

Later,
Glen Berry
