Maybe headlamp relay . Do you know what a relay is ? How to test a automotive electrical circuit using a wiring diagram an a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter ?
Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html
Enter vehicle info Year , make , model an engine size. Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on headlamps . Click the search button then the first blue link . Looking at the diagram you will see the headlamp an panel dimmer switch ,on top of that you see the fuse that powers the headlamps ? Test it with voltmeter ,is it hot ,does it show B+ voltage ? Go to the headlamp relay ,pull it out . Look on the bottom of the relay , like at the wiring you will see four set's of numbers . 30 & 87 - 85 & 86 . Turn the headlamps on an test for B+ voltage at terminal 85 , where the relay plug's into the fuse box. Test for B+ voltage terminal 30 , again where the relay plug's into the fuse box. Volt meter on ohm's scale 87 & 86 should have continuity . If you have all that ,test relay . Videos on youtube showing how .

SOURCE: Headlights wont work on 2000

Check the fusible links under the hood. Also, double check the bulbs are in fact good. Lastly it could be a defective daytime running light relay.

Tail lights and head lights bo thare not working, what is the problem?

There could be several potential causes for both the tail lights and headlights not working and for the headlights turning on the brights when the vehicle is placed in gear. Some possible causes include:
  1. A blown fuse: If a fuse has blown, it can cause the lights to stop working. Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
  2. A problem with the wiring: If the wiring has become damaged or has come loose, it could cause issues with the lights.
  3. A malfunctioning light switch: The light switch might not be functioning properly, which could cause the lights to not work.
  4. A problem with the headlight switch: If the headlight switch is malfunctioning, it could cause the headlights to turn on the brights when the vehicle is placed in gear.
  5. A problem with the dimmer switch: If the dimmer switch is not functioning properly, it could cause the headlights to turn on the brights when the vehicle is placed in gear.
It's recommended to have a mechanic diagnose the issue to determine the cause and recommend the necessary repairs.
