I would have thought that there would be no point turning your headlights on as you are travelling at the same speed. You would be travelling blind.

you would not see the light.
If your are sitting in a truck bed going 50 mph and you throw a ball in the direction your are going at 20 mph the ball would appear to be moving 20 mph to you and 70 mph to someone who is standing by the road.
Light does not obey this principle however. Light travels at the same relative speed from any reference frame(confusing). To use the above example: the speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s if you are driving down the road at 50 mph and turn on the headlights the light will still be moving at 3*10^8 m/s not 3*10^8 m/s + 50 mph(did not want to convert).
O and if your are driving at the speed of light(would take all the energy in the universe to accelerate that fast) you would experience time dilation(very confusing) and time would slow to a crawl (relatively)-you would experience time same as right now but Huge amounts of time would pass for everyone else.
This kind of topic is a fun way to hurt your brain hope that answers your question.

You won't see the light in front of you, since you're both moving at the same velocity. Also, you would have an infinite weight and you wouldn't experience time.

You hear the tree fall in the forest with nobody around to hear it.

You can see in the darkness.
