Test subject is a FX LP700.
1. Open your desired photo in Ps.
2. Click on the polygonal lasso tool on the left side of your screen. Carefully trace around the part of the image you want to make glow. Feather the selection by clicking on "Select" and choosing "Feather." Set the feather radius to one.
3.Right hand click and select "Layer via copy". Older version of Ps, Go to "Layer," then select "New." Click on "Layer via Copy."
4.Look to the right side of your screen, and locate the "Layers" tab. Click on "Layer 1." Go to the drop-down box labeled "Properties," then choose "Screen." (The tab should be just beside the opacity option).
5.Click on "Filter" at the top of your screen, Choose "Blur," then "Gaussian Blur."Pull the slider to the right to create more blur and to the left for less blur. For my Aventador shot I used a 20px blur radius. You can experiment around to achieve the desired blur effect.
6.Now right hand click "Layer 1" and go to "Blending options". In the layer styles tab select "Inner glow". You can try the setting I've used in the picture below for your model. When your done duplicate that layer 3 times. (You can duplicate as many times as you like to achive desired glow effect)
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for the next headlights. You should come across something like this,
8. Once you're satisfied with the progress, press Shift + Ctrl + F to flatten the layers.
9. Ta-daaa! Don't forget to save your picture Jpeg or PNG for best quality.
Alternate effects, you can put lens flare for the projector headlamps of the Aventador. Due to my angle I've shot this pic I cant apply the flare it will look weird. I just prefer the "Y" glow
Note: This tutorial mainly specified for the Aventador due to its unique Y shape headlights. You can try for other cars as well but no assurance that its gonna work 100% . You can try on other models and post them here if it works! I'll update here on particular models that this effect can work on.
GOOD LUCK! =)
Add-On :-
You can also add "outer glow" to achieve more glowing effect to the headlights esp in low key shot. Image examples inside spoiler below, In the end you can add lens flare at about 30-40% depending on your shot.
