Check the coolant level in the radiator and the oil level in the engine. Also take a quick look at the underside of the oil filler cap.
Spots should be ok there

At a random stab in the dark it could be bad fuel/ fuel filter or pump or maybe even air filter? i always check the basics

Pull the plugs and note the condition. Either clean them or replace them, probably worth replacing anyway.
Spotlights are fine just need to be on a relay to only come on at high beam
