Answer
James,

The headlight problem is the headlight switch.  Change the switch and the problem will go away.  This is the combination switch that the turn signal indicators are a part of.  Take the cover off the column and remove the switch and replace it.  No need to remove the steering wheel so that is a plus.  The airconditioner is designed to turn the compressor off when you accelerate.  This gives you more power to pass.
