What sort of mods did you do to the headlights? Perhaps if you caused interference on the can bus, the transmisison could be doing odd things. Un-do your mods as a sanity check.
The only electrical modification I've done to my headlights were the angel eyes, coded out the DRL and Corner lights so I can run angel eyes only in parking mode. I'd rather not disconnect them and try to run the car at the moment until I'm certain my transmission is full of fluid.
