Assistance Requested in Correcting Blow-out of Highlights

I have a few areas of capture footage where lighting along a dirt road is well into saturation and far to bright but using the fast color and/or contrast/brightness effects works on the entire frame, not the portion that needs correction. To correct this, is it necessary to make this adjustment in Photoshop or is there some way to do this in PPro CS3?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
