I got a 89 accord lxi 5spd. And whenever i turn my headlights on, the car vibrates like crazy!! Its a cellphone vibrating OD! and whenever i press the brake pedal it also vibrates very hard...... What are some things i could do/check to minimize or stop the rough idling????

BTW the rpms go really down, almost to zero when it starts to shake.

What is the idle speed when you don't have the brake depressed?

Sounds like it happens when there is a load on the engine. I'd be looking at a couple things:
-broken or worn engine mounts
-idle speed set too low
-IACV not opening enough (clogged or broken) to bump up the idle when there is a load.
