Maybe you are seeing just a bit into the ultraviolet spectrum. Halogen headlamps emit a lot of uv light. When uv hits reflective paint, the wavelengths are probably lengthened and may make it just into the edge of visibility for some few people who are very sensitive. One clue is that you are seeing it as purple, which is the color closest to the UV spectrum. A Google search finds a lot of people seeing purple at night when driving, but no one seems to see any other colors. Why purple? It would make sense if it was UV. Perhaps it is easier to see at night when the pupils are large and the other color seeing eye cones are no longer able to function due to low light.

How can a person with epilepsy learn how to drive?
As a seizure can happen at any time, someone who is driving at the time is obviously a potential risk. Different countries have different laws relating to driving and epilepsy. Someone who has any history of epilepsy is often barred for life from driving something like a bus and there is no way they could ever get a pilot license. For a car, it is often a case that they have to be clear of seizures for a period of time, like a year or two, before they will be allowed to get a driving license. A truck being a larger vehicle, poses a larger potential risk on a road, so the law would be stricter, but that depends on where someone is. It differs from one place to another. You would need to check with the laws where you are.
