Hi,
I think we have two different issues. It could be the main light switch itself causing issues, but before replacing that, I need you to check is fuse 7 in the fuse box under the dash. That powers the brake light switch. In addition to checking the fuse, I need confirmation that power is to and from it. Here is a link that you may find helpful:

If the fuse is good and has power, move to the brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal lever. There will be a switch there. It will have a light green wire with a red tracer (power from fuse) and a light green wire that only has power is allowed through the switch (when the brake pedal is pressed).
I need you to first confirm the light green/red wire has 12v. If it does, press the brake pedal and confirm there is power to the green wire out from the switch. (See pic 1)

Let me know what you find. Let's get this fixed and then move to the headlamps. I suspect it will either be a ground issue or a faulty switch. We will determine that after the brake lights work.
Take care,
Joe
