Default had brights on and car turned off

well i was driving home from a buddys house after work, and i had my brights, then the driver headlight just quit workin out of no where. After that i turned my lights off then flipped them back on and they still didnt work. After that i went to push the gas and it bogged down and wouldn't start. I then popped the clutch while i was moving and it ran perfect and then out of no where the radio turned off but the music was still playing and it turned on about 2 minutes later.. Any idea what could have happened? it blew my mind when it happened.

edit: 94 civic sedan dx d15b7

Check all your grounds and all your fuses. Battery connections as well.

I have also heard of part of the wire harness behinnd the Intake Maniford rubbing on something causing a wire to short out. Never really read into it much, but it's worth a look at.

Your car is haunted.
Check all wiring involved with what happened and check battery connections. Souns like a loose terminal

You MUST provide all pertinent information about your car and engine. Failure to do so may result in thread closure.

Could be a kill switch from previous owner when brights are applied, most likely not though.
