That's a good place to start. Bulbs are cheap. Next thing you want to check is whether you are getting power to the socket.

Check the socket for corrosion. Also check the wires as far back as you can making sure that the insulation has not worn through and started shorting to the car. If the insulation looks deformed and brown (melted and burnt) by the socket then replace the socket. Start with the previous answer though.
