Window Switch LED Replacement for 2003 Expy

How do you remove and replace the LED for one of the window control switches located on the driver's armrest? Is the part available only from the dealer or can I purchase it thru local auto parts like Pep-Boys?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
Ernie.

My 03 EB has the same thing. I read a post a while back that said you need to replace the switch.

You guys refer to the light as an 'LED' is that really true or is it actually a bulb! If it is an LED I am curious to ask wh it is 'burning out' as LEDs don't usually give it up! They typically work forever.

Window switch light...

... is actually a bulb and not a Light Emitting Diode (LED). My 2003a will re-light with a firm thump with the index finger on the switch. I'm sure one day this will no longer work but until then....
