Default Need Help Ses Light

Ok so I recently replaced my headlights with some better more powerful halogen lights and what not and everything was fine. Tonight I am driving to my friends house and the SES light came on. Now recently I have had all my brake pads replaced and my rotors were grinded down. The only thing that I have changed was the headlights.

The old headlights were 65/45watt and now they are 65/55 watt. I dunno...would this cause the SES light to come on. Otherwise I do not know what is wrong with the car. Please need input, cus I am on a tight budget and really can't afford all these problems right now.

P0153 is the number. My current setup is everything stock except a cutout. IS that an o2 sensor??? If so is it defective or something, have not run into problems before with the cutout. Well going to be getting Magnaflow catback pretty soon so I guess that will fix it if the cutout is the problem.

P0153 is H02S Slow Response, Bank 2, Sensor 1 (Precat, passenger side). Where's your cutout? An LS1 can throw that code if there's an exhaust leak a few inches from the sensor. Also check to make sure it's plugged in tight and there's no corrosion on the terminals.

Below is the best picture I could find. I outlined in red the O2 sensor you want to check. Hope this helps.

http://shbox.com/1/ho2.jpg shows what they look like/location on a 95, not sure if your 97 is exactly the same, but gives you an idea.
