I've been having this issue with my ecterior lights lately. Replaced all with new bulbs, so it must be a wiring issue now. First, my highbeam indicator will stay lit but my headlights or brights wont turn on, then randomly they will work slightly; the low beams will be half way lit along with both high beams. If I turn the high beam switch on, the high beam on the left will light up fully, but the other low beams and high beam will shut off.

For the tail lights, when I press on the brke one bulb on the pass side will go out, and when I turn on the blinker the bulb that goes out when the brakes are pressed will be out of sync with the oher bulbs on blinking.

The reverse light on the pass side as well doesn't work.

I'm wondering if all of this is linked together, but I'm not sure where to start looking or what to start testing. All bulbs are new, and nothing looks to be wrong that I can see. Are tjere any relays and fuses I can test to start at? I swapped some known good relays in place of the headlight relay and it didn't change anything. It's really frustrating not being able to drive at night because of no headlights, or driving like there is a tail light out. Any input would be greatly appreciated, as I'm lost when it comes to this. I'm fully prepared to test all that you guys can ask me to test to help trace down this issue.
