[V8] And another discovery....

[urq]

... every one I've ever opened had LEDs ... and I'd highly recommend
replacing the switches if you can find them for a reasonable price.  Going
with new switches gives you new contacts as well ... and they too are known
to become flaky.  

If you feel that you have good skills in soldering in confined spaces go
right ahead.  I don't remember if I've seen the procedure posted anywhere
lately, but what worked for me was to open up 3 edges on one side of the
switch and lift the side piece up like a lid toward the part you can see
when the switch is installed.  You may want to search the archives, ISTR
posting a fairly detailed procedure on the big list a long time ago when I
was doing this on my 5kCSQA ...

TMK, they are not LEDs but microbulbs. 

It's easier to pay AutohausAZ $15 for a new switch than to take apart 
the switch and solder in a new bulb.
