The brothers were passengers in the back of a Vauxhall Astra which fatally crashed with a black Audi A4 just after 3.30pm.
A third child and a woman in her 20s were also severely injured in the horrific smash and both remain in hospital.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police confirmed: “We believe the black Vauxhall Astra had travelled south from Sandilands to Huttoft on the A52 just prior to the collision, and the black Audi A4 had travelled north from Huttoft.
“We appeal to anyone who was travelling between Sandilands and Huttoft on the A52 around 3.30 to 3.38 pm on Monday afternoon, and who saw either a black Vauxhall Astra or a black Audi A4 or may have dashcam footage that could assist our investigation to get in touch.”
Superintendent Lee Pache, Head of Specialist Operations, said: “This is so very sad, and I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the two boys who have tragically died.
“If you were travelling between Huttoft and Sandilands yesterday afternoon between 3.30pm and 3.38pm – which is when the collision happened – we would like to speak to you, especially if you have dashcam which has recorded either vehicle.
“It is early days in our investigation, and we will piece together what has happened. It’s a very difficult investigation and it will take time to work through the facts.”
Anyone who believes they can help is asked to email or call 01522 212316.
