I've had these three buttons apart probably too many times now, starting to push my luck. While they are all working beautiful and super smooth after a rebuild only the window lock button is lighting up. I can't recall if the other 2 didn't work previously or perhaps I killed the bulbs while cleaning.

I tried to ignore it but I don't think I can. So as I get ready for pull apart #3 on these buttons anybody got a source for the bulbs? If I recall they were pretty tiny, I was hoping to source replacement bulbs before I pulled them apart. But after some searching there is not much info on the bulbs used. Most people seem to be afraid to pry the buttons open to get to them. I've seen some suggestions they are not replaceable and you have to replace the button which I know is not true.

 

I’m not familiar with the buttons you’re talking about but would they resemble the clutch start cancel button?? On my quest to convert to all LED’s that button was the only one that I couldn’t swap the bulb as it’s a really tiny bulb soldered to the assembly and is not serviceable, I thought about getting crazy and hacking up an extra one I have to see if I could get an led that would work but then…..I gave up as it’s rarely used and only lights up when I push the button. Are these buttons you have the same set up?

 

Yeah very similar buttons to the clutch start cancel switch. I would guess same bulb setup. I'll take some pics when I pull one of the buttons apart maybe I can help someone else in the future.

 

Yea it can totally be done with some patience, I just couldn’t justify the swap to LED cause you know how much the clutch start cancel is lit up but would love to see the process are you going with the same bulb or LED?? Sheesh it’s been so long since I took the switch apart I can’t even remember if it was a halogen or an LED already? I know it was tiny. Either way good luck, nothing worse than burnt out bulbs, it drives me batty!!!
