First off it's an iX not an Xi.
Important distinction.
To your questions:
1. I've never seen lenses separately, what you are looking for in the used
market is a set of ellipsoids. A popular upgrade for sealed beam folks,
they do come up from time to time but command a fairly hefty price.
2. There are a couple of bulbs in there covered by "socks" to give them
colour. I think they're dealer only. I'd buy enough to replace them all
and perhaps some new socks while you're in there as they are sometimes
partially melted. Then you have to pull the cluster to replace them. You
should probably do the batterieswhile you're in there.
3. You are probably hitting the main window breaker, it's the 5th switch
over by the power window switces. It has a red band around it when it's
raised. Takes a rather firm press to activate/deactivate -- try it.
