Question Switch Lamps

Hi everyone!

Can the light bulb that lights-up the headlight switch in a 91 C4 be changed or do you have to replace the entire switch? If so, does it screw out or does it pull out. Don't want to break it trying to change it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm... My light switch doesn't light up either, so I looked at the wiring diagram and it looks like the terminal from the bulb doesn't have any wire to it to complete the circuit to light it up.

It has a bulb in it but, AFAIK, was not available in a lit version.

I thought we'd done this one before and agreed that none of them lit up. Obviously not so...

Ah, but the cigarrete lighter does - you just have to pull the lighter completely out of it's socket to see the light behind it (at least, you do on mine). Not a great design success!

Oh - and my headlight switch doesn't light up either.....
