If you know what you're doing, you can do it with Bleach or with a product like Kalideocolor or Sunglitz, but Color won't lift Color-

if you do it and it comes out red or orange, reapply and leave it on 20 more minutes or so.

I would wait at least 2 weeks, though, so your hair isn;t fried.

You can go ahead and do your highlights now. Make sure the products and colors are compatable and test it on a strand of hair you cut from under the back first. Apply it to dry hair. If it doesn't show up light enough or takes too long, hit it with the hair dryer to make it work better but be careful or it will be too light. Start out very sparingly. You can always add more. It never hurts to call the numbers on the boxes. They will always take the cautious road..

You can most def. highlight it right away. If you think about it when most celebs or anyone else colors their hair they do highlight it RIGHT away. When my hairdresser colors mine, he color's it first and then puts in chuncky highlights (three different colors). Just make sure if you are doing it on your own that you have SOMEONE else helping you administer the highlights and do NOT get to close to your scalp as the color will spead and you'll end up with a "ring" of color in your hair. Leave about 1/4-1/8 inch of room between your hairstrand and your scalp. Also, make sure you condition your hair A LOT. Do not scimp on this as it'll make the color last longer. Use a nice shampoo for colored hair also.
