If you are using Matrix metering the next time, use the +/- button on the top to raise or lower your exposure. In this case, you might want to try +.7 to +1.0 to compensate for the headlight.I disagree with this. When shooting RAW, it is possible to overexpose and recover lost highlights providing it isn't overexposed too much. RAW has more latitude than jpeg. When an image is underexposed when shot then the exposure is increased/raised during post processing, you can increase noise especially in the shadows.</blockquote>
