If you were traveling at exactly the speed of light they would still light but wouldn't go any further than the bulb. Faster than the speed of light they would not appear to be lit. And slower, well, we all know what headlights look like going slower than the speed of light

Let's assume that you are going ALMOST the speed of light, say at 99.999% of c. As a massive object you can't drive your car at exactly the speed of light, but you can come as close as you like. If you turn on your headlights they will work exactly as they normally do. Unfortunately your reaction time will not have increased any, so if you leave yourself one car length for every 10 miles per hour you're going, you'll need to leave a gap of about 67 million car lengths between you and car in front of you. Of course what's going to happen then is that everybody and his brother is going to cut into that gap.

it's a very asked question u can't see it at all it's pretty weird at light speed time stops so u can't go with light speed u have to go slower and the light from your headlights would go faster than u.

They would turn on but not shine anywhere. your car would be going the same speed as the light and riding right along with it.
