1) My headlights on my 93 GT flicker whenever I use them. To be more specific, sometime's they go off and sometimes they stay on like they should. They come and go, its incredibly annoying at night. Is this a common problem?

2) kind of off the wall here, will the bullit shift knob fit a regular T-5 Shifter?

Headlights def. sound like a bad ground. Check the battery and chasis ground

My buddy had this problem and eventually the headlights stopped working all together. It ended up being the switch that controls your brights, turn signals, and windshield wipers.

well i should also note then that the brights dont work when the headlights are flickered off. However, if you pull back on the switch (temporary high beam that turns off if you release it) always works regardless of whether or not the regular lights are off. Another interesting electrical problem is that I dropped something in my cigarette lighter and fished it out with a jewler's screwdriver. I saw sparks, and now the lighter doesnt work at all, and my horn quit. Did I blow a fuse?

If you have a owners manual I would check to see which fuse runs your cigarette lighter. If you dont have a owners manual just check them all with a test light. I have no idea if the horn is on the same fuse as the cigarette lighter.
