I'm not clear about your idling issue (no punctuation mark). Do you mean engine surging? How's the condition of air filter? Have you cleaned the Throttle Body? You can also try a bottle or two of Fuel System Cleaner like Redline SI-1 and others (with PEA - Polyether Amine).

As for the headlight, did you really replace the bulb and the problem persisted? If so, then it could be a wiring problem. If you have a DVM, you can compare the other headlight connector and see if you are getting power at low beam.
