But it seems weird that both switches would fail at the same time.
They never break at the same time - you only noticed they both were broken when the last one failed. This is normally the rear brake switch, as your right hand is being used for the starter button, but habits vary.
It's only in places where annual safety inspections are carried out that folk notice that only one brake light switch has failed.
So always replace them all.
