Kyle, I think that's progress!
Tightening that battery cable made a difference, albeit small. So I think that brings us back to ground connections or, perhaps, a battery condition issue. All the grounds need to be clean, bright & tight. The critical one is under the right side engine mount, but there are several others. I think that if the speedo is affected by the headlights, it's providing a missing ground on those circuits, if you follow.
I'd clean all the grounds you can find!
With or without the sensors connected, can you try turning the traction control/DSC/ASC off & see if anything changes? (Hold the switch down for 5 seconds).
As for the sensors, I'd talk to your friends at AutoZone & see if they can explain why they list so many for the Mini at so many different prices. I'd have thought Dorman to be a good brand.
The battery date is stamped into the top of the ground terminal post. NN YY where NN is the week# & YY is the last 2 of the year.
