Hi, it sounds like your front calipers need servicing, they are not working properly (seized/sticking)and it is quite possible that all your problems are related to your brakes, front brakes in particular, have your local mechanic look at them, it will be costly as you will find you will need new rotors (might get away just machining them), brake pads, reconditioning (if its servicable) brake calipers.

HOW DO YOU BLEED THE BRAKES ON 100 SERIES CRUISER

Start the engine, fill up full the brake fluid reservoir, and let someone press the brake pedal down to the floor for 3 times,, bleed the bleeder screw behind the tire.. position yourself closed to back plate of drum or caliper for easy bleeding work. when the bleeding screws is loosed brake fluid leaks with a bubbles. then close it again and tell the guy in the pedal brake to press it again until a hard press is felt and bleed the bleeder screw again, stop only the process when there is a hard pressing already on the brake pedal which is the brake system is now working properly.

Brake lights not working

the brake pedal you depress with your foot has a plunger style switch that activates the brake lights. that switch is at fault if the brake lights do not operate upon pressing the pedal
