I don't think they come with LED's. These are typically mini 12V bulbs. They are easy to replace but hard to find.

Usually you have to buy the whole switch to get the bulbs, so check eBay for some switches. You can get some used ones inexpensively.

Yes they are LED's. Both LED's are out on my driver's power window switch. If you search you will find that some people have fixed theirs by soldering in new LED's or fixing the existing ones. It's not that they are burnt out that's the problem.....the LED's don't have a good connection.

If I would press on my switches just right the lights will come back on. I am just going to leave it alone until more fail and then I might replace it.

That seems like a lot of work to replace LED's. It sounds like it's easier to just replace the switch. You'd have to spend an hour just taking the switch apart.

Here's one for $35:

If you find them at the junk yard, expect to pay about $10-$15.
