Need more info. How do you know that the battery's good? Is the click you're hearing the click of the solenoid, or from one of the many relays? Are your battery terminals shiny clean on the INSIDE of the connections? Have you tried jumping it from another car's battery?

If the lights are dimming, it's pointing to the starter. You might try this. Get under the car (key off) and give the starter a couple of hits with a hammer. Not hard enough to dent the starter, but not light taps, either. Then try to start it. Surprisingly, this'll often get it started once or twice if the starter's "not completely dead," as the Monthy Python guys used to say. And if the solenoid is sticking, this will usually knock it loose. Either way, it sounds like you'll be taking out the starter soon.
