Anyone figured out how to replace the bulbs for the switches shown?
Looks like the rocker needs to come off, but how without breaking it

You need to buy a little tool. I have one, works great.

The tiny little lights inside are a non serviceable item. You gotta buy new switches. I've never seen carling bulbs go out after 5 years. Very weird. Should last 10-15 years.

If all 4 are out, you have a ground/wiring issue.

For that price, buy a new switch!

Nope, it's only the flush light that is out, but the switch itself still works fine.

Well, it's a $10 switch, no big deal.

Not sure if that is the exact one you need, they have many.

My Flush lamp went as well in the past week. We leave the flush on all the time so I may change this to an amber so we have a small night light in the head.

Thanks for the link.
