light emitted from a rapidly moving light source would travel at the same speed as the light coming from a stationary light source (although the color, frequency, energy, and momentum of the light will be shifted, which is called the relativistic Doppler effect).
The relativistic Doppler effect is the change in frequency (and wavelength) of light, caused by the relative motion of the source and the observer (as in the classical Doppler effect), when taking into account effects of the special theory of relativity.
The relativistic Doppler effect is different from the non-relativistic Doppler effect as the equations include the time dilation effect of special relativity.
why asking anyway? ('',) just curious ...! lol

depends... which way is the car facing? If you're going the speed of light towards the headlights nothing would happen. If you're going the speed of light in reverse then the light would go out at 2C and would still do you no good since the light wouldn't be able to bounce off things behind you fast enough to come back to you so it'd still just be blackness...
anyways... where are you planning to get a car that can go the speed of light? Where do you plan to drive it (space will make the windows implode and the friction with air would rip it to shreds... or set the atmosphere on fire... either way...)? Does it run on gasoline? Why would you bother with headlights?... it's no like you could react fast enough to stop an accident when you're going that fast...

Most likely bends. Read Einsteins theory of rate in space. No I do not understand the propagation, but at that speed nothing is going faster and without any resistance does rate increase or can it? Remember in space, mathematically, 0 does not exist either.

You don't need headlights. It's not like you're going to hit a cat or something.

What a funny question and I love all the people who think you are being serious, all making fun of you and stiz.
I have no idea because know next to nothing about physics.
You probably end up in Narnia.
Yeah that's my guess.

Relative to your origin the light proceeds from it at warp 2. Ever hear of N Tesla ?

Nothing because you can't go the speed of light, perhaps you've heard of Albert Einstein.

Are the brights on or off? This makes a difference, according to Einstein.

Is this possible? a vehicle at the speed of light!?
Why do you want to know that anyway?

I enter into another dimension with creatures with higher intelligence.
