I took the wood trim off and it doesn't look like there's anything user-replaceable, other than the hazard light switch itself.... I still can't figure out if it ever did light up or not.

anybody knows if it's possible to replace the light bulb or does the whole switch have to be replaced?

thanks!

Hello - do you happen to have a step-by-step instruction on how to replace the bulb? I ordered the OEM bulb through my local Lexus dealer. Thanks for your help!
