These terms mean the same thing: typically people say 'bulbs', 'lights', or 'lamps'. Most electricians use 'lamps' to mean any of these. Typically, a light fixture is called a fixture, or a luminaire. The part that actually lights, is called a lamp. (A table lamp can also be called a lamp).

It sounds to me like your bulbs are out. These bulbs have a lifespan just like the light bulbs in the lamps that you have at home. These are easy and cheap to replace, and you can usually access the bulbs from your trunk, if you own a car.
