Will it light up when pressing the rear brake by itself? Or the front lever?

* It could be the switch at the rearpedal or front lever
* The second element in the bulbs could be toast, but doubtful both would fail at the same time

Did you do anything to it recently? Added turn signals? Integrated tail light? Drop your bike? Are you having any other electrical/lighting problems? Could just be a loose connection.

I would check the grounds make sure they are ok. Also grab a test light (a cheapo from autozone will do) and start testing from the lights forward to the switches and see where you have power if any.
