I’m swapping all bulbs to LED. I’ve finished most, but am struggling finding the bulbs (if there are any) for:
- Rear Defroster
- Rear Window Wiper/Washer
- Rear Window Lock
- ECT Button (maybe no light)
- Power Antenna (maybe no light)
All the other illuminated switches (example showing in pic for Rear Window Up/Down) have a twist type bulb on the exterior of the housing, but these don’t have anything.
I’m pretty sure they illuminate. If so, is the bulb inside the housing? I was afraid to open them up and risk breaking the old plastic housing.
Help?

those are the only bulbs i have not converted in my 1994.(also the ECT power switch) I even have a complete extra set of switches but don't want to risk pulling them apart

I didn’t realize ECT was lighted. Added the Power Antenna switch to the list in case it is lighted too.
I'm having a similar issue trying to swap all my backlit buttons to LED- I'm not sure which ones were ever supposed to work because most of mine don't light up. I believe the rear window up/down switch calls for a T4. I successfully swapped my ignition courtesy light as well with a T5 neo wedge LED. It's located on my cruise control "cluster," but the actual cruise control text is backlit green (when lights are on) and there's a small bulb next to it that lights up green when the cruise control is on. When I was taking apart the cluster to try find those bulbs, it looked like I would have to break something open to change them. I've made a little spreadsheet in hopes that someone can fill in the gaps.
The ones I know the sizes for are the ones that can easily be changed (bulb twists out of the opening)
The back of my cruise control light. The opening you see is for the bulb that lights the ignition when you get into the vehicle. I believe there are still two more smaller lights inside this housing that I haven't managed to access

Yes, I only swapped a LED into the circular T4/T5 that you can see open in your pic. I ended up giving up on the ones where you have to pry the switch apart - LED just wasn't worth the risk.
All others throughout the entire vehicle are done!
