Question regarding car lighting at night

[CP.AR]

My primary focus of shooting is on cars - but what has really bugged me is how to capture headlights at night, without the lights glaring or washing the surroundings out. So far, my only solution to this is to use the "remote headlight" feature with my car (I can turn the lights on remotely), by turning them on during the last 2 seconds or so of my exposure. But recently I have been shooting some of my friends' cars, which don't have this function.... what should I do?

^^^ yup. and use a small aperture.

how about the easiest way have your frd sit in the car and you hand signal him to turn on the light at the last 2 sec?
