This is a pretty advanced topic... I suggest learning HLSL (or finding a coder capable of doing it for you)
Regardless here are some links http://www.gamedev.net/columns/hardcore/hdrrendering/ specifically : http://images.gamedev.net/columns/hardcore/hdrrendering/Image2-HDRprocess.jpg Look at how render targets in source work, and check out the already existing (but non functional) bloom function DoScreenSpaceBloom() in view_scene.cpp to get a feel for whats required Or just wait for lost coast and mess around with what we get from that example of a bloom in source: http://www.jakoavain.net/helk/mybloom.jpg all you'd have to do is split up additional render targets on a per entity basis to get the restricted glowing you want.
