Answer
Hi Tony, This sounded to me like the Alternator from the start. If your head lights don't work when you try to start it your battery is dead. The alternator isn't charging the battery and it will only last a couple of days  before it goes dead.

Replace the alternator and jump start the car and let it run for 30 minutes to charge the battery.
