Your alternator is dead/dying. Nissan puts both of those lights on to tell you that the alternator isn't charging your battery.

I have a Nissan Sentra 1998. I noticed that the brakes lights, turn signal, and all interior electronics won't come on including the speedometer, etc. The headlights come one but that's about it.
These problems started after you replaced the battery ?

Dim dash lights
Check your owners manual. There must be a way to dim the dash lights. Should be a dial or a knob somewhere.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4.7 speedometer flips around when headlights are on bad, and rarely when they are not on.
Sounds like a "bad" earth on the dash head unit. Also check enging to chassis earths, gearbox to chassis, battery to chassis etc.
