The problem sounds like its either in the starting, charging, or fuel system.

Does the starter operate? If not, theres your problem.

Plugs and wires can affect this. However, if you have replaced them you have eliminated that section of possibility unless of course you got a bad set. Did you gap the plugs to the appropriate clearance when you installed them? (If applicable.) See to it that you got the appropriate plugs for your car. The battery that you installed is new correct? You may want to take a multimeter and set it on the "20" volt scale. Place the positive and negative leads across the appropriate battery terminals and the meter SHOULD read 12-12.6 volts.

I would like to hear more about this noise that you are hearing when you turn the headlights on. Do the headlights dim any at all?

Best of luck,
