title effect for short film

[PaulyV]

Im going to editing a short film and I want to do something really cool for the title. in the opening scene there is going to be a car driving towards the camera with headlights on at night. what I would like to do is incorporate the title into the beams of the headlights. like maybe it's in the beams of light and the light reacts as though the title were actually in front of the beams of light. can anyone think of a way to achieve this or is this going to be too hard?

I'm just thinking out loud here, but maybe something like Trapcode Lux in After effects?
