If you were already traveling a the speed of light then would not the lights with you be traveling at twice the speed of light.

Question for you how do you know you are not already traveling at the speed of light? After all is not our galaxy moving?

We learn speak English and use spellcheck before we go lightspeed and we on the headlight I think. Sometime we go too fast to read what we write huh?

Headlight speed would be constant and would stay the same as light won't travel any faster. Lights will come on and shine as usual but will be relative to the car speed.

1. Your question makes no sense.
2. You'd have a really cool car.
3. Everything is relative. (which I believe is the answer to your intended question) If you are travelling towards me at the speed of light, and you shine a flashlight at me, I will see the light from the flashlight travelling towards me at the speed of light (not any faster)- but it will be shifted in frequency.

The folks that answered that no light would be emitted from the headlight (or that the light would be moving twice as fast) because of the speed are completely wrong. They're thinking in the world of Newtonian physics- and your question is about Relativistic physics.

you wouldn't turn on the headlights at all. As you hit the speed of light your density would go to infinite and you would destroy the entire universe.

Essentially, your question (and almost every answer so far) is (are) non-sensical. There is absolutely NO way any masseous object can travel at the speed of light as this is a violation of physical laws. If we consider a case of violation of physical laws then there is no way to answer any question about such a case because (as i have said) in order to reach that situation you would have to suspend any physics that could give you a meaningful response. In other words, anyone who tries to answer your question either 1) doesn't know enough about physics to be worth reading about or 2) is dishonestly point-mongering by providing an incorrect answer that you want to hear to try and convince you to award them 10 points.

I guess your headlights would not emit light, because they are moving with the speed of light and the light can't get away from them.

It would look exactly the same as it does when you aren't traveling at light speed.

There will be no light emission because speed of light is the max speed you can achieve.

You'll be sitting on an operative working lightbulb that's unable to emit any light due to it's velocity already being lightspeed.
