4wd switch lamp

Does anyone know what the number of the bulb that is in the 4wd switch for illuminating the switch? Thanks.

It's not replaceable. I had mine go out and the dealer said you have to replace the switch assy.

It's replaceable, but I don't know the number. I had to replace mine and a friend of mine had ordered two when he needed one for a job. Pretty sure it was just from the dealer. i had a tough time getting the green condom off that colors it. If I remember, I'll ask if it was from the dealer.

A year ago two Ford dealers told me this was not a "serviceable" part and that I had to replace the switch assy at $45. I did some research and ended up with a decent solution.

see this page I put together:

2004 F250 Dash Light Bulbs

If your interested in fixing yours like I did, let me know, I can hook you up with some replacement bulbs.

They look like 178 or 164. I've seen bulbs that tiny before, but only from dealers.

In my 2002 F250 if you work the switch out of the panel you can use a simple flate blade screwdriver to remove the lamp in back ... it looks like a small LED .... I'd think the dealers would at least have the replacements

Its actually a small bulb, not an LED. And according to two Ford dealers I contacted, they do not carry that particular bulb.

Its not a "servicable part", so they say. This was true as of Dec 2007 so maybe its worth asking again....
