Theres a switch 2 buttons to the left of the defroster switch. That switch is to raise and lower you head lights without turning them on so you can change the headlights. The switch could have a short in it causing it to act like that.

I have a 97 accord lx and the fuses are good. The headlights work but dash lights and tail lights do not. There is a slight burning smell when I turned on headlights after about two minutes.?

The burning smell indicates a short in the electrical system somewhere. I would start by replacing the headlight switch. If that does not work you will have to have a mechanic look at it.

Why do brakelights go off on when the head lights are switched on?

Brake lights should NOT be effected by the headlights. Brake light function is completely independent of the headlights. Assuming you are not refering to the tail lights, or marker lights, which are supposed to come when the head lights are turned on. Not having brake lights when the head lights are on is a big safety problem and should be corrected.
