Default Accord 2002 Brake wobbles after DIY job

I just replaced all the front brake pads on my 2002 Accord SE. I had to get the rotors resurfaced since they were warped. I inspected the rotors after the resurface job and they looked very clean. After re-installing like the manual says the car is running fine but when I press the brake pedals it wobbles. At higher speeds, like on the freeway, these wobbles are much more pronounced and start shaking the steering.

I have installed brake pads on my '96 Accord twice and did not have this problem. Can anyone suggest what may be the problem here?

One thing that I did differently this time is that when the brake oil started overflowing from the reservoir under the hood I just closed the cap back, hoping to contain the overflow . Is it possible that there is air in the brake-oil line and that is causing this wobbling problem?

I will appreciate any useful suggestions. Thanks in advance.
