A bad swithc would take both lights out. Always check your fuses though.

With the power off and the bulb out, try lightly scraping the bulb contact points in the bulb holder. Corrosion may have built up. If you have an electrical tester, turn the power on to the bulb holder and check to see if you are getting 12V.

Remember, do not touch the bulb glass surface. If you have, clean it with a new paper towel and some glass cleaner to get the oils off.
