If both bulbs went at the same time, I'd check the relays, fuses and wiring...

Bulbs shouldn't be too hard to get out tho, iirc there's a wire clip holding them in which you have to twang (for want of a better word) to the side slightly to release it

you have to push the clip across then down iirc. It flips back on itself.

I found the hardest bit was disconnecting the 3 pronged plug off the back of the feckin bulb! Instead I managed to pull the entire metal holding clip out along with the bulb!

got them off and got me new bulbs in now, yeh it was just a pain in the **** finding the pin with the rubber coat over it and i couldn't get the black plastic thing of whilst they were connected, anyway lol i ended up cutting the rubber off then it was simple, just hoping they now dont get water in them....
