Drive a bit quicker and overtake it.

Your question contradicts Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity which states that no object with mass CAN travel at, or above, the speed of light (c). As your car approaches c, its resistance to acceleration (mass) increases so that it would take an impossibly infinite force to actually reach c. Your question, then, is based on an impossible premise. It's like asking 'What would happen if I reached the North Pole and kept going north?'

Assuming that it was possible to travel at the speed of light, then yes the lights would work, but unfortunately you would reach any object that was illuminated by your headlights at the same time as the light did, so you'd not see what they were illuminating.

Not so well in daylight!

I'd love to join that speed awareness course though!!!
