But when driving under acceleration the lights on the front wheel indicator go out. Let off the gas and they come back on. Any ideas. Hopefully I gave you enough info.

If the engine runs well, this indicates there is sufficient vacuum. Did you test the vacuum check valve? Did you check the vacuum lines at the vacuum switch yet? Check each line separately and make sure it holds vacuum, and that they are not restricted. You'll need a hand vacuum pump and a vacuum gage to check them. Or you can replace them, (one at a time) to make sure they are connected properly.
