Default Headlight/Foglight switch

This has been bothering me a little. I could have sworn that the headlight/foglight switch would light up but ever since I got it back from Ford to have the locks switched out, they never came back on. Once I get my mustang back, what is the best way to fix this issue? Looking at the photo, it should pop out fairly easy? I'm assuming it still operates on a bulb?

Someone posted this recently. If I recall, Radio Shack sells a 2-pack of these bulbs but you'd have to find the thread to get the part#. I don't think Ford sells the bulb. The OP of that thread said that you had to buy the entire switch from Ford.

Seems to happen to quite a few. Still looking for the one with the part #.

Yeah, bummer that Ford doesn't sell a replacement bulb. They'd rather get your money by selling you a whole new switch.

The bulb from Radio Shack isn't as bright as the OEM bulb, but it does its job. Came with two bulbs, and I keep the second one in the car just in case.
