The likely cause of this is the multi function switch. Both the tail lights and headlights run through this switch so if it were me, I would replace the switch.

The way to test this is to check the voltage coming out of the switch on these circuits and that will tell us if the switch is the issue. Here is a guide that will help with this:

I attached the wiring diagrams below and the process on how to replace the switch. Please run through this process and let us know if you have questions.

Thanks
