They're supposed to. Pop the switches out and you'll find the two lightbulbs in each - one to indicate "On" and the other for night illum. Should be able to pull the old bulb out of the holder and fit a replacement from Maplin for £peanuts. Search the word "Maplin" on here and you'll no doubt find the part number.

Here you go: Wire-Ended Filament Type : Small Bulbs & Lamps : Maplin

Removal of the old bulb and replacement of the new takes about 15 minutes and a bit of patience, but no soldering is necessary.

Fine tweezers help.
