You can get a multimeter under $20 to test the bulb, or by a new bulb.  
If it’s not the bulb, then you have a spare.  
Yes, both running light filaments could have broken at the same time perhaps when driving over a bump.  
This happened to me once with headlights.  
One evening went to use them and both out.
