Question on the rear defogger button.

Is the rear defogger icon supposed to light up on the button when you turn the lights on? Mine doesnt. Only the orange lamp on the bottom lights up, but what about the window icon?

cool. Well, Im not going the LED route on my car. Does this mean that I have to go and get a switch from a junker to have it light up again? anybody have an extra switch that still lights up with both the icon AND the orange bulb?

So i took the switch apart to see what was going on in there, and there are two bulbs in there, one with an orange condom and one with a blue condom. The bulbs are encased in a ruberized housing and simply slide onto two prongs. Are these bulbs available at the dealer? I really dont feel like having to buy the whole switch. anybody else replace these? Does anybody have the old bulbs that they dont need anymore due to an led swap?
