Turn signal switch bulb?

I'm having an issue where if one signal is on, the opposite brake light won't illuminate. Also periodically the signals will not illuminate on the dash either. If I wiggle the turn signal lever towards me everything will start to work again. Something is shorting out in it.
I plan on replacing the whole switch. 1980 non-tilt wheel. All the switches for non-tilt wheel I can find show a bulb on them. My truck has no bulb coming off the switch. What is this bulb for and will a switch with a bulb still work on my truck?

What is this bulb for (A/T shift indicator dial) and will a switch with a bulb still work on my truck? Yes.

Thanks for the quick reply. So I should be okay to remove it since I have a manual transmission?

Leave the wire there, just remove the bulb.

Where in ND do you live? There are 3 Ford dealers that have quite a few obsolete parts:

Soeby Motor Co. in Walhalla (701-549-3711); Bowman Sales & Service in Bowman (701-523-3257); Wolfe Ford in Lidgerwood (866-602-9710).
