Narrative:
My crew and I were on final to sfo runway 28R in a dassault falcon 20. Upon extending the landing gear, I noticed that there was only 2 of 3 green down and locked indications. After testing the circuit, I realized that it could be a burnt out bulb, at which time I elected to do a go around to do checklist procedures. After landing and having maintenance verify the problem, it turned out to be a burnt bulb, at which time the mechanic replaced the bad bulbs with new ones and returned the aircraft to service.
