Headlights suddenly both stopped working

Morning folks. Looking for some advice. 

i went out in my car last night and found that my headlights were both not working. Full beam works fine, side lights also but no headlamps- weird. I’d replaced the pair around 9 months ago so I’d assume that they both haven’t blown simultaneously but maybe…. However, would appreciate your thoughts as to what else it may be before I replace them both (again) - fortunately have the receipt so if it’s the bulbs will be able to at least chat to the store. I bought Bosch 50% extra brighter so expected these to last a fair length of time. Also from a reputable store and not online.
 

 As ever grateful for your thoughts.

Given that the other the lights are working, the fuses sound okay and the wiring. Always check fuses.

Check the bulbs, it is possible they have both blown.

Otherwise check the connections at the rear of the bulb, they may have worked loose, but I would be surprised at both of them working loose at the same time.

Hope it is just the bulbs.

Ok that's the easiest fix.

These extra bright lamps do tend to fail more quickly than the standard versions. That said just 9 months from a reputable source seems a tad short! Check to see if you have any warranty with them?
