Hello there! The car has crossed 28,000 km. SGII is very helpful in this car! However a few problems have arised now. I need help on this.

Earlier I said, the low beam used to fade now and then and I was suggested to do throttle body cleaning,but I wasn't able to do it.

Now, eventually like in December end,the low beam stopped working. So I'm using the highbeam (100w) for all the night driving full time. After a period like 2 weeks, the reverse lights stopped working too (BOTH sides),and today I came to notice that the rear LH brake light isn't working. Indicator is alive though.

I've checked the fuses. All are alive. Why is all of these happening one by one. I don't know which bulb is going to fail next? Why is this strange electrical problem happening?

EDIT: Also I've started having problems with my brakes! In December in one highway drive, while I was doing 140-150 and braking to 60-70 for waiting for lorries/buses to overtake others, I faced a loud screech noise from the front brakes. A metallic screech or similar. It doesn't happen in the city. Few days back on the highway, again while braking from high speed to low speed I faced this same issue, happened thrice,the same day I guess it happens only if I brake for a long time and medium to hard braking.

Any help here?
