Ok so when I turn my headlights on, no other lights at all come on. No parking lights. No tail lights. No license plate light. No interior lights at all either. Im incredibly frustrated with this Jeep and I just need to find out a temporary fix if there is one. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

Sounds like a short-to-ground, Check fuses first though.
The bulbs get corroded too, but It sounds like a bunch of shorting to me.
If you have a light pick, and alot of time you can pin down the short
As far as by-passing circuits, its generally not a good idea with these jeeps.
Its not like an old truck, where you can cut-paste-to-battery with everything that goes wrong.
(Not condoning that either!)

I took my doors off this past weekend for the first time and I have been having nothing but electrical problems since then.

Bingo! something is/was disconnected/or broken (wires, connectors ect..)

Could it be a head light switch? My dome lights decided to stay on yesterday and I went through every connection and wire for the doors and the hatch and didnt find anything so I pulled all 4 of the interior dome lights because I was in a hurry. That night (last night) I went to drive home and none of the lights work except for the headlights.

Turn the key on, turn on the head lamps, use a 12v test light and check all the fuses first. If you find any blown fuses replace them and then test all of your lights. That where I would start, I think there is a 7.5 amp fuse that runs all this stuff.
