is there a way not to blow out, while a night shot?

The only way you COULD do it would be to do a series of exposure bracketing shots, and combine them in HDR - but you'd need a VERY wide exposure difference of at least four stops (more likely more) because the headlights are that much brighter than the rest of the scene.

Do a long exposure on a tripod, and get someone inside the car to turn the lights on briefly while the shutter is open.

we have a winner ! nice suggestion ric . (and others )
you can possibly also try a smaller aperture (ie f18-22 in TV mode) to take the edge off the highlights
careful of lens flare with night shots too
looks good tho` jin222 !
