The simplest things can cause the most trouble - I would start with a load test on the battery - may seem to be charged after using a battery charger, but can have plate connection problems causing failure under load.
John, According to Nissan forums weak failing alternator is the common problem for bat and brk light on. If you are sure battery and alternator are good, I say check and clean battery connections and all grounds(loosen and re tighten all ground connections to give good contact), check belt for being loose.

There is a problem in the electrics of the vehicle. First place to start is to check the alternator drive belt for condition and tension. Next place is the battery terminals and condition and tension . Third place is to have a load test done on the battery as it may have an internal short and drawing all the current from the alternator. In effect when you add power requirements ( park lights then brake lights then headlights) you are actually using more current than the alternator can supply to keep the engine system running.
Go a auto part store,Autozone,Oreilly's or Advance,have them check your battery and alternator,it's free and only takes a few minutes,other things to look at,are your battery cables clean and tight,is the serpentine belt good,not turning loosely.
check make sure alternator charging battery if alternator fails volts out put 11.0 volts that will set off abs light, if alternator okay have vechicle abs brake system scanned at the volkswagon dealership.if abs light flashing while in motion could have faulty wheel speed sensor.
sounds like a open diode in alternator,when brake and battery lights come disconnect green plug on alternator,if the lights go out you've found the problem,very common problem with subarus
check your brake fluid it is more then likely low.You might need brakes as when they wear they take up brake fluid as the piston extends to make up for the worn pad material.
