I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it ahead in the road' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'fast to get answer i will' is the wordplay.
'fast' becomes 'tight' (I've seen this before).
'to get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'i will' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'ill'='aill'
'tight' enclosing 'aill' is 'TAILLIGHT'.

'see' is the link.

(Another definition for taillight that I've seen is " Illumination at rear of vehicle".)
