WHILE EN ROUTE TO JONESBORO, THE PLT WAS INFORMED THE RWY AND TAXIWAY LIGHTS WERE INOP. WHEN HE ASKED FSS IF THE ARPT WAS CLOSED THE REPLY WAS, 'NEGATIVE, LAND AT YOUR OWN RISK.' THE PLT LINED UP WITH WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS RWY 05 BUT IN ACTUALITY IT WAS A TAXIWAY WHICH PARALLELS RWY 05. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, WHEN THE PROPS WERE REVERSED, A GEAR UNSAFE HORN AND LIGHT ACTIVATED. THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHEN THE PROPS WERE TAKEN OUT OF REVERSE. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN ON THE RAMP. A BROKEN TAXIWAY LIGHT WAS FOUND ON THE TAXIWAY USED FOR LANDING AND PIECES OF GLASS FROM THE LIGHT WERE FOUND IMBEDDED IN ONE LEFT MAIN GEAR TIRE.
