This is strange for both low bulbs to blow at the same time, as the left is more common ?? Just as a simple check give the connectors a wriggle at the back of the light.....then spray switch......then fuse and relay checks   :think1

Had both low beams go at the same time on my 1100 thought it was weird but the replacements haven't had a problem.

Most likely bulbs, could be the switch. You have parkers????  Parking lights are independent of low/high beam.

Could be both bulbs went at once, which is not common. Check the low beam fuse.  Crud on the hi/lo switch is not uncommon.
