No, at the speed of light you would be in complete darkness. Its basic physics.

Yes you headlights would work if you were traveling forward. Although you are traveling at the speed of light, so are you headlights so the light emitted from them would shine in front of you same as if you were sitting still. If someone were standing off to the side of you, the light from your headlights would be traveling at twice the speed of light since speed is relative to the point of reference.
You tail lights though would appear as a red streak since the light from them would be traveling at zero speed relative to someone standing off to the side of you.
It takes an engineer to give you the correct answer.

Yes, your headlights would work, but they would not provide you with any illumination. The light would not escape from the bulb.

I don't have a clue! I have reversed the polarity on my headlights anyway -- They suck up darkness.

Yes, but as you pick up speed going down hill, they are then behind you. because you are going faster than the speed of light.
