Just theoretically, when I turn on the lights in my super fast speed of light car, would I see the road if the light can't go faster than my car?

You won't see the road without your car lights turned on. But if you turned them on you could still see the road. Light always has the same speed, however fast you go. In your car frame, it goes at c always in all directions. So it hits the road in front of you and makes it way back to your eyes. The clocks on the road all go slower though. Almost standing still if you approximate c wrt to the road. The reflected light might have a different wavelength though. It depends if your eyes can see it but it's always better ti turn in your lights at night while cruising the roads at c, in the dark. If only for the other travelers...
