Bulb - factory fog/cruise/heated wiper switches

TreeSki · 04-25-2009, 01:24 PM

Hey all -

I did some searching and didn't see anything on this, but i'm looking to see if anyone has found a place to buy the bulbs that provide the backlighting for the accessory switches at night after you turn the headlights on. my backlighting died, so i took the switches apart and they have bulbs that just slide out.

my local subaru dealer only sells the entire switch unit and all my local autoparts stores said i was out of luck and that they didn't even carry anything that they could order for me.

thoughts? solutions?

not having the backlighting isn't really a big deal and it certainly doesn't prompt spending $35 on a whole new switch...any help would be great.

Definitely. That's the one I was trying to give him but couldn't find. I used that one to fix mine.
