Probably Fuse, Relay, column switch. I'd start wth the fuse, then check the relay. (Assuming the driving beams work.) There should be a relay box under the hood, likely drivers side. If you're mechanical, you can swap the relay for headlights with another one of the same model/type. Swap temporarily, and if lights then work, just replace th relay for the light.

No low beam headlights

Either the switch or bad wire connections at the bulbs. Scratch that - I'd be lookin at the switch.

Low beam headlights dont work

Generally that happens when your low beam bulbs burn out. I have had that happen a couple of times, no warning, no indication leading up to it.

I would just replace the bulbs.

I have a 2001 potiac grand prix with no tail lights the same bulb work turn signal an brake lights they r fine ive checked all fuses and replaced all bulbs even replaced the light switch still no tail

no, they are not the same. The multifunction switch is on the steering column and controls wipers, turn signals, and hi/low beam headlights. Dash switch is on the dash and generally turns lights on and off and frequently also controls brightness of dash lights. I had a Camry that had the same thing happening...ended up having a toggle switch put in to control the tail lights...fixed the issue.

2008 Chevrolet Equinox. Low beam headlamps stopped working. High beams and signal lights are ok

This lo beam description, hope you can read it. You have hi and lo beam fuses, on lo beam use test light on the lo beam fuse, any voltage? The voltage comes from lo beam relay. Voltage and ground are important.

Low beam headlights do not work ..replaced switch and high beam bulb

try the lights with the tilt wheel in the up position. If the low beam works then, a wire has pulled out of the connector on the mutipurpose switch inside the steering column. remove the covers behind the steering wheel on the column and there is a large multi wire plug with many wires. it should be obvious which wire has pulled out or broken.

What started this mess? tailights, fog lights, brake lights....

The relay has nothing to do with the tail lights, but replacing the switch sounds like a good idea. There's a nut holding it in place, see http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/switches/switch-headlight/1027524/ to get an idea of the construction. And the price. This is not worth fiddling about unreliable workarounds...
In addition, if fuses 15 and/or 16 burn frequently there might be a problem with the tail light cabling.

Good luck
