Sounds like one of your blinker bulbs are blown. they are designed to blink faster as a warning to you if its blown. also your car is old the wires to your headlights have probably seen better days. check it with a voltmeter to make sure the correct power is running through them and if your lights are that dim just buy a set of H.I.D.s the ballast does all the work and will guarantee your lights will be brighter. only do this once you know your wires aren't the culprit. g/l
