i like the suggestion that it may be speed sensor related. double check to make sure it's properly plugged in. you may want to switch it with the one off your old transmission to confirm.

when your ecu spits out a cel, it'll store a malfunction code for you to retrieve later - as long as you don't reset the ecu. if you've seen that light flash, there may be more information available from your car.

how much does that cost to get the ecu checked or can advance auto parts or autozone check it?

do u know if it's obdII or I? autozone does obdII for free. but speed sensor sounds right as for the headlight problem sound like a faulty or improperly sized fuse
