If you've got no front or rear lights, then it's going to be the switch. Do your full beams work when you flash them?

And "a b reg" means nothing to me.

Still haven't told us the model.

For a start, swap over the high and low beam relays to see if that gets the headlights working:

But I have a sneaky feeling this will be something simple like a bad earthing point for all the instruments and controls in the cabin. Have you fiddled with any wiring recently, such as fitting a new stereo?

I don't think anything until you tell me what model we're dealing with, and whether or not you've been fiddling with the wiring.
