Most likely a bad ground. Causing power feedback to get enough ground to light at all . Find the ground screw. Remove it and clean the area. Apply a little Die Electric to the metal and the wire end, being sure the wire end is clean as well.

I have a 2000 Subaru Outback, all the lights on the vehicle- headlights, tail lights and dashboard lights keep flickering when I drive.

May have a weak or broken motor mount along with a bad ground showing up as the engine torques and lifts up losing ground and causing the issue of flickering lights .

1993 chevy silverado parking lamps go of when i turn on headlights, signal lights flicker when i press on brake.

Yes I would look for a ground circuit problem. I would look at the ground wires for the headlights first. Even run a new ground wire for the tail lights to see if it helps.
Could be a ground connection for the body to frame or body to battery.

Having masive promblem with the tail lights and brake lights

If the metal tail light sockets are held into the tail light housing by screws and the ground wires for the tail lights are also held in place by the same screws. This is the source of your lighting problem, plain and simple bad grounding. It will cause tail lights to flicker , work , or not work. Check the ground wires and socket attachments carefully.
