indicator diagnostics? (edit: and headlight)

[Bretty]

There's always something going wrong with my bike. 

I went for a ride this morning and noticed the left hand indicator dashboard light blinking quicker than normal. It usually means there is a bulb out, so I look and neither bulb (front or rear) is working?!

Can someone suggest the issue or point me at some diagnostics?
Mechanics I can do all day long, electrics I'm lost.

Do the left and right indicators have separate fuses?
Or have I got a wiring or connection fault?

Edit:... and I just realised that the headlights are not working either. Full beam yes, dipped beam and 'sidelights' - dead. :-(

Thanks!
