On my drivers door when I unlock the door,anti theft will turn on ,the headlights flash, but if I unlock the passenger side first then the anti theft does turn off, so what do I need to get on my driver side door to get it fix?

Jiggle the key...

Seriously I would check the wiring to that door, especially where it passes through the door jamb to the body. Some time spent with a multi meter will tell you whether it is the switch or the wiring.

Do this, I had the same issue along with some power window problems only with the door was open.

I pulled the rubber boot back and found a broken wire and another four or five that were rubbed through and shorting together. After fixing this I haven't had a single problem with the anti theft.

Sometimes simply wiggling the wires in the door hinge area will fix this. Of course, only temporarily. In order to fix this right, you have to pull the plug all the way through, and replace entire sections of wire. If you try soldering or splicing in the area where the wire is broken, it will fail in short order. You pretty much have to go from the pin in the plug to somewhere well inside the door with a new piece of wire.
