Aren't NVG goggles basically light intensifiers operating in the visible light spectrum?

It seems to me that a thermal imager, operating in the infra-red spectrum, could be less sensitive to headlights. Headlights emit lots of visible light, but less infra-red. There are auto headlight systems designed to emit infra-red, but they are specially designed to do so.
