Bulb Replacement - Light & Fog Switches

#1
Just replaced the bulb in the light switch on my 86.5 yesterday. No need to pull the switch. The bulbs are accessed by removing the centers. The switches are flexible. The bulbs can be pulled by sliding a piece of flexible hose to capture them. I reversed the procedure to install them while twisting the tubing.

BTW, does anyone know if the fan switch is supposed to be illuminated? It has a removable center, by no bulb.

Those little bulbs are equivalent to a number 74 bulb that are available at most auto parts stores. i had to enlarge the hole for the bulb slightly but after that, they fit fine. good luck
