sounds like your heater matrix is fooked, possibly leaking onto electrics

It sounds like you might have two faults, the lights could be related to your alternator. If you have a multimeter put it across the battery and measeure the voltage with the engine running it should be between 13.8v and 14.5v and holding steady, rev the engine and this shoul rise slightly but not pulsing drasticly.
