If you have fat fingers like I do it is a PITA changing out those tiny bulbs. I usually end up breaking them with needle nose pliers. I needed to replace the one in my rear window defogger switch and tried this instead . Works like a charm and everybody has one.

I also use that same setup for cleaning out excess hair and ear wax from my ears!
Only a plumber would think of this...thanks Kent!

That's disgusting. Try a pressure washer next time. Just don't blow out what's left of your ear drums.

Very high (low) tech, but I like it. I'll remember this.

That's really cool! I remember breaking a bulb by using needle nose pliers.

Does the headlight knob have those lights? They work on my flasher and fog light knobs but don’t recall seeing the headlight (or cigarette lighter) knobs light up.

Nope. Just the EM flasher, Rear Window defroster & Fog Lamp switches. AFAIK

One more place IRIC;
On the tunnel right by the heat lever....comes on when the lights are on.

And the fresh air/defrost slide controller has some lamps too. That pencil eraser comes in handy while trying to touch the ohm meter test probes on those two tiny little wire leads.
