bulb STC1878 $4.00 each www.roverconnection.com
I ordered 8 just to have them on hand.

Pull the entire switch out, disconnect it from the harness. The bulbs will unscrew from the sockets. To install reverse procedure. My bulbs were a PITA to get out, the opening for the sockets must have gotten warped over time. I had to use an exacto knife to enlarge the socket holes in order to extract the old bulbs. Shoot me an email if you have any questions once you get your bulbs. I just remembered that I saw a post a while ago where someone got the same bulbs for around $2.75. Not sure where, maybe one of the big 3.

There are available in ordinary stores from car stereo repair spares... U$S 0,75 each. You should get them far cheeper and easier than I.
