Instrument panel could be a duff circuit board or even just blown bulbs, I'm guessing you haven't taken the dash pod out yet?
The illumination is notoriously crap though, once you have it out get the plastic covers off and I'd recommend doing an LED conversion. Not the hardest thing in the world to do if you want to do it yourself but if not, I'll do a reconditioned bowl with LED conversion for £25 including the return postage.
As for the tail lights, they earth through the screws holding the thing in place, if they're a bit rusty they won't get a good connection and I think it can be duffed by over tightening them too.

power comes across from offside with feed wire over offside wheelarch area from car front to rea, offside works then nearside should. Usually check bulb first then earth.
Get a multi-meter electrical tester from local discount store / Halfords etc. A few quid will save you wasted hours of wondering & thinking & fiddling.

check variable-resistor black knob to the right of the radio, this is the clock light dimmer. Agree about removing blue bulb covers -much better.
I had very similar problem. As someone has stated earlier, the rear light clusters can cause problems if they have been screwed too tight. Mine were tightened too much after a bit of spraying, this cracked the plastic causing a screw to earth out. Take the rear clsuters off and check for a split in the plastic near the screws.
I hadthis problem. i found it got worse. does you altinator light come on dim with the indicators? I would try replacing the body earth straps. thats what cured mine
