Default Window switch illumination

Have recently noticed the driver's side window/mirror switch is no longer illuminated when I turn the lights on. Passenger switch illuminated as normal. Probably a stupid question guys, but before I start tearing things apart, is there a bulb to replace in this assembly, or is it somehow integrated in the switch assembly. Thanks to all for the continued help and inspiration.

Default Window Switch Illumination Update

Hi Guys
As an update to all who might have a bulb burned out on your window switch (thanks H20boy for the go ahead), Jaguar, in all it's wisdom seems to no longer sell the bulb separately. The only alternative is to buy a new switch at approx. $100, or try to find a bulb that might work. Remembering a similar type/style bulb used in the clock on my 03 XJR, I went to the dealer to take a look, but it was too big to fit. However they did have a bulb that is spec for illumination in the HVAC system that appeared to be very close. I'm happy to report that although it was a very snug fit, it has solved the problem. Jag part number for the bulb is JLM11965....almost $15 !!! Let there be light!

Egg-selent! First a light bulb, the next thing you know you'll be cleaning your throttle body and replacing your fuel filter yourself. We appreciate the part number addition too, makes it easy for future member to locate.
