How to take photo of car at night?

I've taken photography at college, and I'm doing a project on portraiture. I want to take a photo of myself at night, lying on the ground in front of my dad's car, looking like I was about to be kind of run over. I want the car to have its headlights on, and I'd like myself on the ground to be clear, plus the grill of the car to be clear too.

The closest sort of thing I've found is this:

Imagine that with a person lying on the ground in front of it. The trouble is, with the headlights on their dimmest, they don't light me up at all, but if they're on brighter, then they mess the whole picture up, and I can't see anything. I also need a bit of illumination on the car itself to highlight the grill.

In short, how can I take a night picture of a car, with the headlights clear, the grill clear, and a person on the ground in front of it clear? What sort of settings etc.

I'm using a Nikon D70s, with a 24-120mm lens, or an 80-200mm lens. I have a tripod.

Added (1). Thank you both of you who have answered! Well as I'm only 16, I can't afford to get any proper lighting or accessories, so first of all I'm going to try a reflective surface behind the camera.

If that doesn't work, then I'm thinking that I could have another car behind the camera, with its headlights on, therefore lighting up the car in the photo.

I also like the idea of shooting at sunset, but I get home from college at 6 o'clock, by which time it's almost completely black out.

Here are my first attempts, without any lighting or reflective surface behind the camera. Note that the barrel in front of the car is there to show how the lighting would fall on a person.

Added (2). Thank you MOZ. Ideally I would do it under a street lamp, or in a parking lot, but as I live in the middle of the countryside in the UK, I can't really do either of those things. I'm also not old enough to drive, so I couldn't take the car somewhere else.

Try long exposures with the lights on dim. Like 1 min. Change the time until you get something that works. Put a reflective surface at the camera to bounce light back onto the car.

You will need a lot of additional lighting.

Talk to your instructor and discuss your ideas the ask them how they suggest you accomplish the shot.

My guess is that the 24-120 mm lens set to 24 mm will be your starting point.

Also to make things easier, shoot around sunset so that there's enough ambient light to provide detail on your body and the cars grill, etc.

This is truly a complex lighting project.

If I were shooting this, I would use about ten incandescent work lamps to use as fill light in areas of interest. Snoots, scrims, barn doors, gels and other light modifications can be used to provide a unique look to your project

Take the picture under a street light and use a long exposure with a wide aperture to allow for maximum light.
Or do it in a well lit parking lot.

A few methods:

Lots of lighting, but it sounds beyond your budget.

Use a lot of reflectors. Buy some white posterboard, and try to bounce back as much light as possible. It will help, but won't make it perfect.

Photoshop - Take two shots, and combine them. Tripod, long exposure, no headlights. Second exposure short and with headlights. Cut headlights from one, put it on other, now you have headlights and details.

Creative electronics - Do a long exposure, with a small aperture, F11 or so. Rig some type of remote to the headlights, and near the end of the exposure, turn the headlights on for a short time, 1/4 second. See how the lights look, and adjust exposure time and headlight time to create the right effect.
