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.
