At first i thought you wouldn't see your lights but after a little thought, i reckon you couldn't hear your horn but you would see your lights,

If you travel at the speed of sound and peep your horn you will not hear it. Simply because if you are going that fast the sound of the wind buffeting the car would drown out the sound not to mention the sound of the engine you would need to make your car that fast. To people outside the car, they would hear it but depending on where they were standing in relation to the car would depend on when they heard it. For instance if they were in the path of the car they would not hear the sound of the horn until the car had hit them.
As for lights while travelling at the speed of light, a similar concept applies. Obviously they would be useless for seeing where you were going since they would not be able to project any light in front of the car and people in the path of the car would only see the light as the car hit them.
Not bad considering I'm drunk : )

Been discussed a lot in the scientific community, and the answer seems to be: your horn would sound. Your lights would come on, and be seen.
It makes sense when you thing about it. Turn on a flashlight, the beam goes out at the speed of light, 286,000 miles per second. Put the flashlight in a car going 60, turn it on, the beam goes out at the speed of light, not the speed of light plus 60. Same with sound, you'd get some Doppler effect, it might sound higher or lower than its actual tone, but you would hear it nonetheless.

Your horn would peep but would not be heard by people in the car. The lights would still work as you are not travelling at the speed of light! But!! I wouldn't want to get on the bonnet and check them!
I suppose it depends if you were sitting in front or behind the horn. If you were behind it you might here a noise of some sort. But if you were in front of it surely it wouldn't reach you, would it?

How does one peep their horn?
You wouldn't hear anything but what would be funner (?) would be travelling a few miles slower than the speek of sound, then you would hear a very low frequency version of your horn. How exciting that would be!
Your lights would work as usual at speed of sound but speed of light you would see the car interior as normal but the lights outside would not be visable.

It would be like a plane travelling, you would hear the horn but the car would have already passed you.If you turned your light on travelling at the speed of light they would come on as fast as the speed of light!

I dont know what other people said since I haven't read it yet.
Speed of Sound:
1. Beep horn 2. Hear horn, thats it.
Speed of light:
1. Turn on your lights, lights turn on, thats it.

at the speed of sound, you wouldn't be able to hear anything from outside of the car. Inside the car you could still here, because the things inside are not moving. At the speed of light, you would not be able to see anything.

Your lights would reach your destination before you did. A peep on your horn would turn into a continuous long sound whilst you were in motion.

The sound of your horn would travel twice as fast and so would the lights on your car. Just because those are their speeds, it doesn't mean that they can't travel faster.
And that crap about nothing can travel faster than the speed of light....well, light can.
