1st of all u can't travel at a speed of light, OK suppose u can travel then also from a spectator point of view the light will appear same as normal, because light always traveled at the same speed: 186,000 miles per second. It didn't matter if the source of the light was moving or if the observer was moving.
here is a site where u can get this answer perfectly.

If you were travelling at the speed of light, you would not be you, and your flashlight would not be a flashlight. You would both have to have converted to energy.
To accelerate, you need force. When you approach the speed of light, you start to approach the need for infinite force to continue to accelerate, thus nothing that is not converted to energy can ever reach the speed of light.

You'll see the light travelling away from you at c. Speed of light is constant regardless of the speed of observer or the speed of source.

You can't travel at the speed of light. But regardless of your speed relative to anything else, when you turn on your flashlight, you observe light to emerge from it at the speed of light, c.

Unfortunately, at the speed of light, time slows to a stop - you would necessarily need time to turn on your flashlight, but you would have none.
It is a paradox in the sense that even if your flashlight were on when you reached this speed, your brain requires time to process any information you might receive - and, again, you would have no time.
I cannot personally conceive of no time - it would possibly be like a suspended animation. You would certainly travel enormous distances in literally no time by your reference.

Forget it, you can't travel at the speed of light.

NOTHING because Speed of Light is faster than a laser, so according to that, you won't be able to see anything.
PS: Traveling on a Speed of Light is nearly impossible.

you would appear to be stationary, and see the light shine forward and measure its velocity as the speed of light.

Hopefully a beautiful curvy naked woman.
You would feel stationary, but the beam you flashed would come out and you would be able to..........uh......aw forget it. I don't know what I am talking about.
