Ive sorta struggled with this for awhile now, I cant seem to get my outside maps too look real, its always too dark and such. I have the proper light (env_light or light_env i forget) but its not bright enough...any help?

Try light_environment for outdoors.

Change the brightness of the light. What could be easier?

ok, how do you make the prop_static lights, "LIGHT" up? the light_glow thing doesnt work does it?

They dont light up, as far as I know. Some of them specify in their name that they are on. The model usually has a different texture than its "turned off" counterpart.
I'm also having trouble with that, since some of the props that light up dont do so with enough brightness.

Read my tutorial.
I bet you only textured a single surface of the ceiling brush with the "tools/toolsskybox" texture.
Light_environment is useless if you did not texture the whole brush with the skybox texture.
Don't worry. It's a common n00b mistake.

haha, maybe true but I think I have the whole brush covered, is it that the environment can be too big?

No such thing as too big.
Well, it's possible, but I haven't seen any map that exceeds the limit yet.

Even if you have a huge map that extends across the whole grid it lags like a bitch.
