    Does your park lamps, license plate and side marker lights work??? Those and tail-lamps are fed from same source...

    OK when I had exact problem with my Comet the head light switch was bad... There are two circuit breakers inside, one feeds the head lights and other park/tail, sidemarker & license light... That second breaker was open, had to repl switch...

    Here's a somewhat crude drawing of the switch contacts but should help you, check to see if there is power on the brown wire(center right) with lights on, if not the switch is bad...
