That background may be a lit duratrans and the light reflections on the windshield could be string or 2 of lights (think Christmas lights) if it was an in studio shot. You could get somewhat close if you parked a car on the side of the road with the tail inching out a bit. Id suggest putting up a few cones to be safe though and hope an officer does not come by or better yet find a road with no traffic that has street lamps and enlist a friend and their car and put it in the the road a ways back from you with their lights on.

As far a subject lighting I'd need to see the image larger, but I'd suspect its a single light source wither with a small sliver umbrella or a small soft box perhaps with a grid in it then possibly a negative fill card on the other side of the subject so that the fall off is not so drastic. There is a shutter drag involved and either another light from outside and behind the car or an ambient light source (street light) that is giving her hair some framing but not so much as to act as a rim light. All in all, pretty simple and clean lighting. There are several ways to go about and recreate this shot.
