Headlight switch question

I recently bought a used 2005 F250 with a 6.0 PSD. After fixing a number of problems I got to drive it last night in the dark and noticed that the headlight switch/dash dimmer was not illuminated. I pulled the switch/dimmer unit and could not see a bulb. Is this switch lit up when the lights are on? If it is where is the bulb hidden?

There is a bulb, not sure what type. I had a friend replace it on a mustang and it was not easy. You have to disassemble the headlight switch, huge PITA. They had the replacement bulb at radio shack. We could not find it at a parts store.
