Exterior Lighting problem #1

When I attempt to accelerate in my 2007 BMW X3, it appears to skip. Also, when it is time for the gear to change, it does not change at the appropriate time.

Headlight Switch problem #2

All wiring inside of both headlight assemblies are brittle to the touch. I had a light come on in the dash for a light bulb out and upon getting ready to replace the drivers low beam headlight, I learned all the wire coating was flacked off and caused a ground. I removed both headlight assemblies, as both were an accident waiting to happen and had them profressionally rewired them with heatshrink tubing, and replaced the burnt out head light bulb. I still have a light out on the dash and the headlight does not work. Further troubleshooting has reavealed this is not the switch, as I purchased a known good one, and still no power to the drivers low beam head light + lead. I have yet to replace the light control module unit (under the dash? I believe) as this is too costly for me to afford. I will just drive with one headlight out. :(.
