You say your engine lights still on did you reset your ecu? If not remove your negative cable for like 5 mins and connect it back up that should clear you engine light.. If not pull up your passenger side carpet and find where the ecu is there will be a little red light on it count how many times it flashes and thats what code your throwing long flashes are ten quick ones are one.. The google your codes to see what they are

Tempeature gauge Problem:
I just found out!
so im driving down the street.
average speed 35-50
gauge reads normal temp.

But!
when i use either blinker or Lowbeams the gauge goes CrAzY!

So...the car is not overheating but instead bad wiring ?

Thats just my extremely novice conclusion

then do like i said and see what codes the ecu is throwing it may not be your o2 sensor code anymore and if you dont understand what i said there should be a write up on how to do it in the 4th gen faq

make sure your body is grounded to the engine. its very important. if you don't, then all your lighting is grounding through tiny little wires in your dash, and this will cause a fire. ground your batt and your eng to the body. do it!
