The white lights on the front help you to see what is in front of you at night. If the tail lights were white, they would blind the people behind you. Next time you are out driving/riding at night, look for a vehicle on the road that has a broken tail light lens. The harsh white light is hard on the eyes, especially when the driver applies the brakes (the brake lights are even brighter).

how many times you...?

Because red is for reversing and is more clear, White is for light to see ahead.

WHAT IS THE BEST car IN THE WORLD YOU HAVE?

White helps you see. If it were in back, you'd be blinded (ever ridden in back of someone with a busted taillight?) Red means stop; it's also the color that's able to be seen from the longest distance.

you may display only white and/or amber lights on the front of your vehicle (technically, the blue headlight bulbs are illegal).
At the rear of the vehicle you may only have red or amber lights, except the reverse and license plate lights. Your stop lights must be visible from 100 feet, day or night.
Lights visible from the sides of a vehicle must be amber or red.
Lights must be maintained in good working order.
257.698 (4) Unless both covered and unlit, a vehicle driven on the highways of this state shall not be equipped with a lamp or a part designed to be a reflector unless expressly required or permitted by this chapter... This makes it unlawful to have the under-body neon lights that are popular elsewhere.
257.698 (5) The use or possession of flashing, oscillating, or rotating lights of any color is prohibited except as otherwise provided by law... This makes the chase lights unlawful.
