You'd see no light in front of you. But an observer who was not traveling at the speed of light would see your headlights come on but only after you speed past them.

As was noted, this question was asked several days ago. You can't turn on the headlights, or do anything else, because at the speed of light, time stops. It's time dilation on steroids.

Somebody asked this a day ago. The headlights would come on and you would see george bush looking like a deer standing in the road caught in the headlights.

Relativity would happen!
From your point of view, the headlights will turn on normally. As soon as you pass someone on the road, the beam of light will appear to be moving away from them at the speed of light as well.
This is because the speed of light is constant for all observers. If you were walking at 5mph and threw a baseball at 20mph, to someone standing still, the baseball would appear to be going 25mph. If you were walking at 5mph and turned on a flashlight, you'd expect that for someone standing still the light from the flashlight would be going at the speed of light + 5mph - but it doesn't, to that observer (and to you) it'll be going at the same speed.
