Default Replace UL suspension switch backlight?

The little light behind the suspension Sport/Normal switch in my 02 LS430UL doesn't work anymore. Is this something that I can replace?

Does anyone have the specs for the type of light in there? It appears to be some sort of dimmable incandescent. The lights on all of these switches are dimmed by the main dimmer ****.

Thanks in advance!

i bought my 05 last year and my light was never actually on. i recall a debate a while back as to if this light was supposed to work or not. some said yes, some said no... kinda funny though

I bought my 02 in January and the light worked.

At first, the light occasionally didn't come on when I started the car, but would turn on if I turned up the dimmer (I like to keep these interior lights as dim as possible without being off). Now, turning up the dimmer does not seem to work.

Anyone have any ideas?
