Morphology

angel + eyes

The phrase is metaphorical: 'eyes' maps onto headlights and 'angel' evokes a halo, so a learner who knows both words can plausibly infer a luminous or halo-like feature around lights. However, the automotive-specific usage and the leap from 'angel' to 'ringed light' is figurative and culturally specific, so the sense is not fully predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Angel eyes comes from imagining an angel with kind, shining eyes who looks pure and gentle, so people use it for 'eyes that seem innocent, beautiful, or full of kindness'.
