If you were in a car, driving at the speed of light, and you turned on your headlights... would anything in front of you be illuminated?

yes, i think so. the headlights are IN FRONT of the car. the car has the same speed with the light so the car is not accelerating. nothing in front of the headlights will be illuminated (i think). so i guess that the headlights are the only ones illuminated. well, the headlights are in front of you, right?

Yeah but if you aimed your headlights to the rear of the car would you leave the headlights behind?
If your going faster than light ?>

Obviously no because the light is travelling at the same speed as you and will never reach any object before you do.
By the way, do you find it hard to sleep at night by any chance? LOL
While we're on the subject, who wants to talk about time travell? lol

travelling at the speed of light is not possible....
but if it were..then u WILL see the stuff in front of you...cos Einstein's Speed of Light Postulate states that the speed of light is same in all INERTIAL REFERENCE FRAMES....and an in inertial reference frame is a frame moving with a constant velocity with respect to another frame...and Earth is assumed a IRF for all practical purposes....

You would have already gone past the spot before it lights up, so NO!
