I didn't think that you could replace the bulbs in the switches. Can you buy them as separate items then?

You're better off replacing the stock bulbs with LEDs, brighter & last longer, I refurb these for people so if anyone needs theirs done just give me a shout, here's a set in green...

Something I would do myself but those do look good.
