Headlights blink with turn signal

New member here. Everytime i use my blinker, my headlights flash with the beat of the blinker. Any ideas how to fix this?

Got a video of it? Are you sure it's your headlights and not your daytime running light or something? Sounds like someone previously hacked up your lights.

I dont have daytime running lights. All of my lights flash with blinker, headlights, back lights, and cluster lights. Wierd thing is its only when car is in drive, when i put it in park it doesnt do it. Ill try and post a video later, and i dont think someone hacked it up

Sounds similar to this here

namely this post:

I would suggest that you have this replaced. It is a tricky bit of work, and I would not suggest you try doing it yourself. The procedure for replacing this switch requires the removal of the steering wheel, and airbag mechanism. This can be potentially dangerouse to a novice. Your dealer or a good repair shop that specializes in Acura/Honda should be located and I would imagine the work should not take longer than an hour or two. Good luck.

You can expect the switch to be at least $100 used and maybe $250 new. Not including labor for installation.

Peace, Love and Acura...
