Automatic Headlights & Car keeps stalling.

Hello I'm not sure if these 2 things are something related but when I drive my car even at slow city speeds it will all of a sudden die. When I am going 60 down the freeway I have to stay in the right lane as much as possible so that when my car die's I can pull over and start it again. No warning lights come on and stay on. The idiot lights turn on all at once then they go off right after. A friend of the family thinks that it may be due to fuel filter needing changed since the lights don't stay on. Also my auto headlights won't work anymore and I was wondering if that is due to a fuse or something. Can anyone help? Thanks.
