Lights on my R53 (dome, license plate, and headlights)

So bought my MCS this year in February and of course when I got it I was so excited I overlooked the little quirks now as I drive it and start it up everyday I notice these things. 1 my dome light comes on sporadically I've replaced the bulb actually sanded down the connections *in case of corrosion* and even used bulb grease to assist. Now this sounds silly if I bump it the times it doesn't come on it will come on its wired. My license plate light similar , bumped it turns on but it doesn't turn on all the time but most of the time. And last but most importantly my xenon headlights! I replaced both bulbs with new xenon bulbs and checked the connections and occasionally both bulbs fire right up an other times I have to turn the lights off and on until both turns on. Any ideas shorts or just bad luck? Fuses? Anyone with similar issues?
