jerassika, the dash lights sound like the bulbs are out.  there are three bulbs that light up the cluster from the rear, you must take the cluster out to get to them of course.  the brights sound like the combination switch is bad/dirty on the inside of the switch.  dirty more than likely with you saying that one sometimes works.  take the switch assembly apart gently and clean up the contacts typically they get a build up of gunk on them.  hope any of this helps you get it all working again.
