(This gives time dilation)

So you see when you start off - at zero speed (0% of speed of light) your time is just regular i.e. the time slowing factor (xt) is equal to 1. As you speed up your time runs slower by the factor shown on the y-axis. As you are approaching 100% of the speed of light your time slows more and more until it is infinitely slowed down. (You should realize that everything slows down including your heart beats, your thoughts, etc.) So for an example if your ship goes at 98% of the speed of light and you take a one year journey, when you return to Earth five years have gone by.

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread610903/pg1 If you were to be in a spaceship and aim towards one particular star, and travel faster than light, you would see two types of "strangeness" going on. First would be behind you - there would be no light whatsoever behind you except off to the edges - depending on how much faster than light you are travelling. To the sides and front, I don't believe much would be different - photons would still be entering your field of vision, your relative speed wouldn't affect your perception of that light. However,

as you approach the speed of light, all objects not relative to your frame of reference (IE - your ship) would be blue-shifted or red-shifted, depending upon whether you were looking forward or backward. Your ship would appear perfectly normal to you (but would be blue-shifted to outside observers looking at your ship approaching head-on, or red-shifted if they were watching you zoom away).
BUT: ... OP is

asking about first person perspective, not third (and concerning the theory of relativity, there is a huge difference). You won't see objects blue/red shifted, that will depend on how fast and the direction objects are moving *relative to you*. When viewing everything from a first person perspective, you are simply not moving at all - at least that's one way to put what the second postulate states: "As measured in any inertial frame of reference, light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c that is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body." Source is wikipedia

Suppose you are riding a car, the fastest car on Earth, and the speedometer reads 50000000mph, if you turn on your headlights light would still travel at c (670616629mph) away from *you* in all directions. This means ligth would still be able to bounce on objects much sooner than you'd reach them. From your own perspective, only other objects may break speed of ligth, but not you. Hope that clears that part.

The problem is, what seems like commonsense to you just doesn't happen in real life. When a man in motion turns his flashlight on, the speed of his motion is not added to the speed of the light coming out of the flashlight. The light still travels at boring old c, the speed at which it always travels. When the beam from his flashlight hits a moving object, the speed of the moving object is not added to the speed of the beam. The light still strikes the object at boring old c, regardless of the speed and direction in which the object is moving. In other words, the concept of relative velocity doesn't apply to light. It always has the same speed. I flash my flashlight; photons stream away from me at 186,272 miles per second. The flashlight beam illuminates you; the photons strike your face and clothes at 186,272 miles per second. How we are moving relative to each other doesn't count in either case. Obviously, this plays hell with Newton's equations. Something has to give. According to Einstein, what gives is time, which becomes relative, so that different observers see it running at different speeds. And this has been proved by experiment, over and over and over again, so we know it is true, however counter-intuitive it may seem to us. Scandalous, I know; but those are the rules.

OVERALL: Your lights wouldn't look any different to you at all--they'd still have the same frequency (and speed, of course). Other people's lights would be frequency-shifted, not yours. THEREFORE: You would probably be able to see just as well as normal, as c is constant.
