can anyone help solve this electrical problem?

With the lights off the indicators are normal at the back and weak at the front.

With the side lights on the OSF indicator flashes both the front bulbs and the side light.

Headlights dont come on, full beam indicator shows on dash and indicators do not flash.

TIA
