Default Bugeye Fog Lamp Switch Bulb Replacement

Anybody had to replace a bugeye fog lamp switch bulb on theirs yet?
If so,did you buy the bulb on its own or did you have to replace the whole switch?
My dealer is under the impression that you can't order the bulbs individually and that you have to order a replacement switch? I'm not convinced though...

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Nick

P.S: Part numbers of bulbs would be handy if anybody knows them?

BT43W - Maplins - circa 50p

This thread has a different switch but my answer (link) also covers your switch - https://www.scoobynet.com/demister-h...s-t534434.html

Haven't had chance to be honest...
Had a wedding this weekend and now we're away for a week so it'll be a while before I get round to it

Mike,
it depends how confident you are.
On the classics I've done its as easy to slide a very small flat bladed screwdriver under the switch & pop it out.
It's a confidence thing as one slip & its major scratch time or worst still a bust switch.
