they still go on lol.. there is a thing called propagation of motion... this question is like saying (a 9mm bullet moves at 1000 feet/second) "while moving 681.818182 mph I fire a 9mm gun.. what happens"... of coarse the round still leaves the chamber.. it just reaches terminal velocity faster... same with light.. it is still "particle" and thus will react as the bullet does.. and go on

Well, #1, assuming we can get our bodies to move that fast and keep our faces on, and then, if we could move that fast, we wouldn't need the car.
Ok, ok, let's "pretend"
Of course, I'm not absolutely certain but I think if you are driving under the speed of light, your lights are still seen to come on and light emits at its understood speed, just ahead of the headlight lamp in proportion to the speed you are going to the speed of light. Now, if you sped up to the exact speed of light (SOL), I think the lights would come on but no light would move beyond the actual sparking point of the light. So, they may appear off at the exact point of SOL but the electrical functions and light making process are still doing their thing but at their regular speed of doing it. If you began going faster than the SOL, you would be able to see the light trailing behind you, once the length of the car edges past the light source and into your rear view mirror range of vision. Your taillights would already be further behind you in your mirror. If you watched the beam of light behind you as you slowed your vehicle, you should see the light beam appear to catch up and surrpass you, although, its speed had always been constant during the entire process and you and your car were the objects that had shifted speeds the entire time.
I'm no physicist but that seems to be a simplified version of what may occur.
Also worth noting....if you COULD flip a button in your car that made it go lightspeed, how would your body be geared up/energized to move with the physical framework of the car? Would the car just zoom on ahead without us or at a certain speed just leave you behind? What about the problem of all the matter remaining intact during the ride not comingling with other crossphasing matter and energy? How would we reconstitute the car back into all it's parts and our body back into all it's parts separately? Hmmm.

Wow thats a tricky one, id say that you wouldnt notice a difference cause the beam wouldnt reach the road as you are travelling over it.

You still won't be able to see ahead of you! No lights is what will happen!

they glow but dont give off light because by the time you'd see it in front of you your already there so you never see the light it gives off

The police will see you and try and stop you speeding?
