Default Brake lights stop working

As the title for some reason my brake lights stopped working

It works before hand and all I did today was take the battery out and put it on my dirt bike to start it and put it back.

The brake light switch are both working fine with the distant click noise, and i pull the bulb out and both of them looks good to me.

It just strange that both of the bulb gone at the same time and none of the brake light is working(tail light works fine)

Any ideas?

Thanks
Kit

Did you check the turn/brake fuse?

yh checked them as well
so after checking all the wiring and stuff, turned out for some reason the front brake light switch got corroded and isn't making good enough contact, rebuild it and the front works now, not sure whats going on with the rear

Is the spring pulling the plunger on the rear switch? It only takes a little dirt to overload the spring. Give it a pull and a wipe with WD and watch it work, maybe.

I have changed to the banjo pressure type because my rear set did't allow the stock ones to be fitted, I think its time for a new one of that

It just wired how both of them gone at the same time
