This is about the sixth time I have answered this. You cannot travel at the speed of light, and if you could, time is stationary, so you cannot do anything.

Well, if you ignore the fact that your premise is impossible -- yes, you would see the headlights. The light from the headlights would be sent away from you at 2x light speed (light speed + the velocity you are already traveling at, which is light speed again).... The headlights work the same no matter how fast you are going. The light from the headlights wouldn't slow down just because you are moving really fast already.
The people that got angry at your question have obviously never heard of a hypothetical question before.

If you're traveling at the speed of light, I believe your headlights would be the least of your worries...there's that whole "separation from space/time" to be concerned about

The premise of your question is not possible to be true. There is no reasonable answer to your question because a material object can not travel at the speed of light.

No one has experienced that and no one will ever will. But if it will happen, Theory of Relativity states that all factors that are in uniform motion are relative to one another, so we have no way of determining whether one of them is stationary. So i think you can see your headlight.

Yes, you would be able to see them cause they are travelling with the same velocity as that of yours , though you wouldnt be able to see any relative displacement between you and the headlight.

If you're travelling at the speed of stupid, and you ask a stupid question, does that make you stupid?

Only if they are travelling with you.

think about the implications of your question's premise and you'll realize why it is regarded as a stupid question.
