So i know next to nothing about electrical systems. At this point with how widespread the issue is would you suggest having a professional get into it? Or is it relatively simple?

The problem with electrical problems is finding the problem is hard. Fixing the problem after it is found is easy.

Quick question: When you say the headlights blink, do they do so on a regular pattern, in other words, off and on with regular spacing. Or do they just flicker off and on randomly.
A flicker, is a loose wire or connection, and can often be found by wiggling the wires until you make the lights blink.

A regular pattern is the circuit breaker in the headlight circuit going on and off. That can be caused by a bad breaker, a partial short, or the previous owner may have installed aftermarket headlights that draw too much current for the system.
The two different symptoms require different trouble shooting methods.
Also, I would ignore the O2 sensor code right now. It sounds like a misfire of some kind which would cause the code on a good sensor. Check the wiring around the distributor for any signs of corrosion or loose connections.

it’s a pretty regular flicker. And the lights are oem.
