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

'way to enhance car' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'first gear stop jumping the lights finally' is the wordplay.
'jumping' is an anagram indicator.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'the lights' are 'es'.
'first'+'gear'+'stop'='firstgearstop'
'firstgearstop' is an anagram of 'gofasterstrip'.
'gofasterstrip'+'es'='GO-FASTER STRIPES'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for go-faster stripes that I've seen is " Stickers on cars to make them look sportier".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
