You can't see the wing tip red or green lights from behind.
Maybe this will help.

in that case, let's say it's an aerobatic aircraft, flying at night, in front of you. in a quick "oh man, let's do a hammerhead" moment...he decides to yank back on the yoke and go vertical. as you keep trucking along, you see what appears to be the planform of an aircraft with a red light on the left, and a green light on the right. he's not coming towards you, but still manages to show his super cool navlights to you.
