You are traveling down an abandoned air strip in your 30 model A 2 door at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens?

...you have problems stopping your A with its tiny brakes due to the increased mass?

I think you need more/better to ponder
But likely so do I as I’m posting!
No light comes on as you are same speed as light rays casting forward. Assuming the car hasn’t blown apart already
Oh time for my meds and nap….how about u?

Wouldn't the lights come on but not cast outward?

6 Volt positive ground? 12 Volt, negative ground? Generator or alternator conversion?
Real bulbs or LED?

Big difference between the Model T and the Model A there. The Model T was designed before the introduction of the Einsteinian physics. Therefore the Model T follows Newtons laws, whereas the Model A has to follow Einsteins laws. So, the Model T can accelerate faster than the speed of light...

The light would gather up in the buckets until they were full then spill over and burn your knees.

You enjoy the moment until it's time to wake up.

Nothing happens until you step out to check the fuse.

Ask the barn for help!

You, as the driver in the car, see the lights come on, and illuminate things in front of you. An observer on the airstrip doesn't see the lights come on, or any illumination.
