When you are traveling at the speed of light what happens when you turn on your headlights?
In theory you would not see them because there is no way of the light getting to you because for that to happen you would need to travel slower than the light or the light would have to be coming from the opposed direction
If you are travelling at the speed of light and turn your headlights on what will happen?
Your headlights will illuminate the roadway in front of you (or the spaceway or whatever), just as if you were driving on a road and turned on your headlights under those circumstances. The light will leave the headlights at the speed of light (for the medium through which it is taveling) regardless of how fast you are going. The speed of light is a constant, no matter what your frame of reference. That is what Einstein said. The speed of light, c, is always the same (for the medium through which it is traveling), regardless of who measures it and whether or not that person is in motion relative to another observer. Both observers will get the same result measuring c. Time changes in different frames of reference, different inertial frames. That's why the speed is the same.

Please 1999 jeep grand Cherokee why does your right brake light turn off when headlights are on?
This will happen if the ground terminal for the brakelight bulb is connected to the power side by accident. If you have a 3 wire socket or light assembly with GROUND, TAIL, and BRAKE wires two of them are wired incorrectly. When the headlights are off the brake light is finding ground thru the filaments of the headlights. Since the headlights have much heavier filaments, they provide a good ground for weaker brake light. When power is on the headlights the brake light will have power on both sides, so no current flows and it goes out.
