SOURCE: just hit 180,00mi and battery and brake light diming

Have the battery tested and the alternator tested, the other issue may have a code stored to help point in the right direction, at that many miles things are bound to wear out.

SOURCE: what fuse runs the tail lights and dash lights

If the dash lights are coming on when you step on the brakes you have a grounding problem. The brake light are seeking a ground through the dash lights and tail lights. Check the ground wire near the rear of the vehicle, follow the wire harness there should be a wire (probably black) that breaks out and is bolted to the body or the frame. It could be the light socket itself but for both sides to fail is unlikely.

My dash brake light comes on sometimes when I brake, or hit a dip in the road or even start off to drive.

Check the brake fluid level. If its low, its time to have the brakes checked for wear. Whenever a "light comes on" check the fluid level associated with the light, thats always the FIRST thing to do.
