Ground connection? Try removing the battery entirely from the circuit and test the lights but DO NOT START. If the lights go on, the battery may be REALLY fried.

Bad ground cable connection?

Check you wires on the coil.
Did you leave your ignition switch on, it could have gone bad.

All I can think of right now...

Check the fuses too.

Oh yah, the "big" fuse at the battery (if one has been added). That happened to me whilst driving. Turned on the lights and whoooooommmmmmm . . whole car shut off. LOL

Both cable connections at the battery. They may need to be cleaned if any sign of corrosion.
