Look up Special Relativity.
Unlike a bullet fired out a plane at say 100mph when the plane is too traveling at 100mph, the bullet would be traveling at 200mph. But a bullet is made of Matter, ie material. Light is not Matter, its a photon and that has no mass and will not exist unless its traveling at the speed of light anyway, so you you would not see it.
So the answer to you question is, nothing. Nothing would happen at all and although the lights would be on they would not shine in the direction of travel, only to a third perspective at another angle would it be remotely possible to detect photons, but that's quantum physics and there are many disputes their too.
People get so confused here, a typical question is, if nothing can travel at the speed of light then how did the photon get there, well the answer is, it never, the Photon is created at near the speed of light and thus the photon is created.

yes the lights would work. i would think that it would work the same as a plane that flys faster then the speed of a bullet but can still shoot them with no problem becuz you have to take the speed of the plane and add it to the speed of the bullet and thats how fast the bullet would fly.I'm not sure if this would work with light but it still sounds nice...

They'd look like reverse lights.

They would be on but you wouldn't know it as you are trying to "catch up to the lights"... provided they are in front of you.

You are going somewhere no one has gone before. We can think we know the answer but can't prove it.
