Question: My battery light is still on what else could it be?

I just recently bought a new battery and alternator and the battery light in the car is still on. Now almost every other light is on also. whenever I press on the brake pad the radio cuts off and lights flicker and things like that, the blinkers also aren't working anymore. Any idea what this could be?
