"Turn on the lights, but as soon as I hit the brakes, lights dim considerably. Also, with lights on (no brake lights yet), horn just says 'eeeeer', although I have a great horn without the lights on."

Sure sounds like a short in the brake switch, wire, or brake light socket to me.
What does the ammeter read when you step on the brake?
