For future reference :
here are the instructions for replacing those annoying burnt out bulbs in the panel switches.

1. Snap switch out by prying on the top with a small screw driver - Be careful not to scratch the switch or the panel above - I used some masking tape on the tip of the screwdriver.
2. Gently undo the white bulb holder which is on the top of the switch - using a screwdriver - turn CCW.
3. The replacement bulbs can be purchased from RadioShack - The bulb # is 7219 Micro Lamp - 12volts, 60mA. They come in packs of two - $1.49 for a pair.
4. The bulb has long slender wires. It is an incandescent bulb - although looks very similar to an LED.
5. Replace bulb. Screw holder back onto switch. The switch snaps right in.

Hope that helps.
