Default Electrical Issues - Headlight, Tail light & interior lights

I'm back. Again. I can't stay away can I?

Molly now has 126,500 miles on her. I can't believe I've had her for 4 years as of November 27th and and I've put almost 85,000 miles on the odometer.

After tons of problems, and even more problems, I've come to another one. You know, if I could afford it, I'd get another car, but my credit is shot and like most of the kids my age (almost 24), I'm barely scraping by.

The newest problem is now that my headlight works about 10% of the time. The same thing is happening with the tail light on the same side. My interior overhead light also only works if I punch it a few times.

My radio wouldn't come on the other night.

The battery is fine, I've had it tested.

Oy. Why?

And now both headlights don't work.

With my level of frustration I think I lowered the value of my car a bit... anyone know a good way to knock dents out of the panel just above the tire?

Do the brake lights come on when you step on the pedal?
