I had problems with my lights once mate, when headlights were on i had no side lights and dials in side the car wouldn't light up, when the fog lights were turned on the dials lit up,
and was down to a faulty fuse i had in the car,
if you have replaced the the fuses and bulbs or checked them, you either have a faulty wire some where and if its not that check your earthing points

There are many earth points on your car, the main cable from the battery will be attached to the gearbox and passenger side inner wing but there are many others dotted around the whole car. You'd be best off with a Haynes manual.
