Default problem with xr3i not charging and front head lights not working HELP!

was driving last night and i stopped at petrol station. when i come back to the car to go i treid starting the car up and starter just went click and would not turn car over.
got it oush started took it home as i was driving the lights in the dash were dimming when i rev'd the car harder and held it at high rpm the dash lights illuminated brighter. As i let go and let it idle it went dim again. when car switched off bat was 11.6 when bump started was charging at 12.1

when the lights were dimming when i drove from petrol station back home i could here some relay clicking from the drivers side of the dash, i couldn't make out if it was. i then saw the heated rear screen button lights flashing with the clicking relay.

My friend said its clicking because the relays knackered or shorting.

after this the heated rear screen orange light stopped flashing on an off with the clicking relay sound too.

we stopped and checked and noticed my main headlights had only had the passenger side light on alone. basiclly on no1 setting u have the sidelights on at front of my morette lights when it was on no2 setting the drivers side light was switching off and pas light staying on alone. why would this of happened.?

This morning i checked bat connections, alternator connections and all was fine. checked battery bower its 12.2, started car up and the battery was charging at 13.8 and car starts itself now and alls fine. Its just the front headlight problem now left.

any ideas
