did you have a recent drop in temperature lately? a drop in temp below freezing can cause the switch to malfunction. You most likely just had both bulbs blow at the same time. But i would say if the temp dropped below zero try wiggling your switch around a bit they may come on..

the voltage system is finiky in these cars try replacing the bulbs its likely where your issue is. they will often blow at the same time.

I have the same issues. Tried subbing a new bulb in and checked fuses. Both bulbs and fuses were good. Has to be the dimmer switch
