Even though I can only offer a pure guess, I would like to try.
"Star Trek: The next generation" did something similar to this and I'm inclined to believe its close to what would really happen.
In the episode "The Battle". Captain of the Enterprise Jean-Luc Picard rushed toward the enemy vessel at the speed of light. (It had its "headlights" turned on too but that is not important to the battle)
If you had been aboard the Enterprise and looked out the forward port window you would have seen the enemy ship rushing toward you at the speed of light. If you had been looking out the rear port window you would have seen a perfect light replica of the Enterprise from its original position.
If you were aboard the enemy ship and looked out the front port window you would see what appears to be two enterprises. One Enterprise that is farther away is actually and illusion created by the enterprise outrunning its only generated "headlights". The second Enterprise as it appears closer to you in a new position would be the real one, but of course by the time you see it, it has already fired its proton cannons, sorry.
Here is the link to a free site that better explains the battle and contains details pictures of the event.

Only light can travel at the speed of light; that which travels at the speed of light must be light.

maybe you disappear because you are going so fast or you may cause time to stop
