Keep the ISO at 200, probably expose the picture for the car with the lights off, then turn the lights off and then underexpose a little bit so the lights don't overpower. Use a tripod. If you have a lot of off camera fancy lighting equipment you can use that to add in some fill light and get both the lights and car exposed better.

Play around with the manual settings, don't rely too much on others settings. Some people have different settings they like and some people have others.

Put it to "M," or try the one with the person and the star if you're not feeling up to the task of doing it manually.
