Executed ILS to Runway 5 approach descending to 480 MSL; broke out from overcast and sighted runway. Decided to land but had 9-10 KT tailwind and consumed runway length rapidly. The Localizer Back Course to Runway 32 [23] was the approach in use at the time. According to ATIS; the ILS to 5 was available upon request. Choosing the ILS to 5 provided lower minimums but resulted in the 9 to 10 KT tailwind which caused the rapid consumption of runway length. Made the decision to land and stop the aircraft without incident which appeared possible at the time. Aircraft landed but did not get stopped in time. Ran off the end of Runway 5 and collided with two of the 5 approach lights to Runway 23.
BE58 pilot reports landing on a 5;000 FT runway with a ten knot tailwind and not being able to stop prior to the end of the runway causing damage to the aircraft and approach lights.
