The dash lights always on indicates an alternator problem.
High beam problems is normally dirty or burnt contacts in the stalk switch.

These light normally light up when you have an alternator problem. Along with the other problems i'd say you have a dodgy earth connection somewhere, or put the new battery on backwards at first and fried something.
