It sounds like a bad connections at the fuse box. Take out the fuses one by one and clean them with sandpaper and give the fusebox a clean too

I'm no expert on electrics but for all those to be gone at the one time and all fuses ok, it would lead me to look at the earthing point.

If you have headlights but no side or rear lights it most likely No. 4 fuse. Check the brown wire connection at solinoid.
