Using the laws of physics, if you were travelling at the speed of light, and your headlights were on, it would appear just like you were driving during the day with your headlights on. The only problem being, at night, you would not be able to see anything. However, if you were to go faster than the speed of light, you could, in effect, pass yourself, and then slow down, and see yourself catch up.

According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the speed of light is a constant, regardless of reference frame. That means no matter how fast (or slow) you're going, if you measured how fast light was traveling, it would always be the same. Therefore, you would notice no difference in the way your headlights operated.

So what i'm getting from everybody's solutions is bill Elliot is the quickest at a NASCAR adventure with a perfect speed of 213 mph Rusty Wallace is the quickest at a NASCAR music with a perfect speed of 228 mph Russ Wicks is the quickest in a NASCAR spec race motor vehicle with a perfect speed of 247 mph Viking i'm partial to NHRA and get exhilaration from what they do yet they do no longer make turns, so evaluating them to NASCAR is like evaluating apples with oranges.

Yes they would appear to you to be working since in your reference frame you are standing still and the light from the beams is traveling away from you at it's normal speed. To others you and your headlights would appear to be one.

czimme3 is correct, there would be no difference in the way the lights worked.

They would work ( light up ) , but they wouldn't illuminate your path.
