Sounds like a combination of 2 problems. The high beam concern is probably due to the light switch on the steering column that allows you to switch to and from high to low. The rear light problem may be due to a burnt out bulb or a possible relay. I would check the bulbs in the rear taillights first.

the same exact thing happened to me. its a blown fuse. i got pulled over and got a fix-it-ticket for it and i didnt even know the tail lights were out. but ya its a fuse in the box under the dash next to the clutch peddal. also check and see if the lights work on your speedometer and all that stuff.

Your brake lights and your parking lights might be the same bulb, but they have different filaments in that bulb that light up. That is why you can have one working and not the other. If your switch is bad for your headlights causing it to light up the high beams, it could also have something to do with your parking light circuit. Try 2 things. 1:put in a new bulb in the rear tails and check.2:check the headlight switch. (do your front parking lights currently work?)
