Depends on the configuration of the lights. Where are they at on the vessel. There are many different situations where you could see red and white lights, such as: pilot boat, fishing vessel, engaged in fishing, restricted in ability to maneuver and so on. The most likely answer to this question is a white masthead light with an arc of 225 degrees and port side running light with an arc of 112.5 degrees. In most situations you will be the "give-way" vessel and will NOT have the right of way.
Stand on, but remain alert.

When operating a powerboat at night white light should be shown on the stern and red and green lights on the bow.
You encounter another boat. You assess the situation and determine that you are the stand-on vessel. What must you do?
Please specify in which country or countries you intend to operate your boat.

seeing the Red & Green lights without knowing what they are telling you means you should not be the operator of a boat of any kind until you learn that they are Navigation lights and even if you are not operating a power boat, you still need to understand what they mean. I suggest you do a boat lic. course before you cause an accident.
Only that you are seeing its' starboard (right) side.
Another boat is approaching you. The red light is their port side and the green light is their starboard side. The port side is left.

depends on the size of the boat, but at least a white light to the masthead.
