[s-cars] Illumination Repairs

Hello S-Listers -long time no write! Been lurking in the shadows though.

Following the instructions over in the FAQs I successfully replaced a number
of lamps over the weekend, including the vitally important ambient
temperature display (inexplicably satisfying, fixing that one). Now I've got
the bug I want to tackle the illumination within a couple of the switches -
specifically the headlamp adjustment and the door mirror adjustment. Before
I start ripping these out and apart, does anyone know if it's actually
possible to replace the lamps or LEDs in these, or is at a case of paying
more over to Mr Audi and his evil henchmen? Incidentally, I've discovered an
increasing number of fairly hum-drum parts have  recently become NLA for the
100S4 - a sure sign of things to come with our ageing steeds.

Just out of interest, how long has the S-List been running now? I just
happened across some old posts indicating that I've been coming here for
about five years. If I'd spent the time I used up reading these posts I
could probably afford a new S4 by now. Anyway, I know a lot of you guys go
back way further than that, but I've noticed a few names fallen along the
way too. Anyone heard from Tony Guttman, for example?

Take care
