Brake light question (both then third out) [solved]

Hi guys, have a question about a 2013 Civic brake light issue my girlfriend is facing. From what I'm told, her two side brake lights went out a month or two ago and never bothered to get that checked out since the third brake light was still working. She was told today that her third brake light is now out.

Would I be correct to think this is a case of blown bulbs? From what I understand, bulbs are usually changed in pairs and go out at the same time or just about with the third light following after.

Thanks for any responses!

I pulled the bulbs and I'm pretty sure they're blown. Going to pick up replacements tomorrow and will update. Hopefully, this is the issue because I am completely ignorant to wiring stuff.
