Which sim?

If P3D, did you check the option for Dynamic Lights?

For either sim, did you ensure the "pilot controls aircraft lights" option is checked?

Additionally: full names - first and last - are required here in the forum.

Using any shader programs, camera programs or other alterations to your sim?

Is there other power on other than just the battery?

engines, apu. When i look outside i see the lights are white and when i turn it off, the lights are black.

You might try deleting your shaders and letting P3D rebuild them, plus the other actions already mentioned (DL on, pilot controls lighting on)

I did it and guess what... NOTHING

That‘s nothing one would guess. But I would suggest you turn off PTA (respectively redo its changes) and try it then. URP makes the sim extremely dark and on 3.4 I had no lights either with PMDG and FSL aircraft until I manually tweaked them brighter in the PTA setup. Also play with your HDR setting. The lights are there and I bet you just can‘t see them due to PTA/URP. 

,

The 737 has been developed a lobg time before the 777. maybe it uses a different code for the lights, I don‘t know.
