Hazard switch, headlight adjustment switch illumination

So,
The back light for my hazards switch no longer illuminates when I have my headlights on.
Neither does it work when the hazards are switched on whether the headlights are on or off (but the indicators do still flash outside).
Now am I right in thinking that this will simply due to a blown bulb that will need replacing? (I think I read this somewhere) or is it a new switch.

Also my headlight height adjustment switch isn't illuminated, however I can't remember if it should be.
Another blown bulb or should it be forever in darkness and has always been so?

I'm running a 03, TD5 90 XS CSW

It's definitely a bulb in the hazard light switch and I would say its most likely blown. I had to replace one in mine for the same reason. As for the headlamp levelling switch I have no idea. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

Thanks guys,
Don't suppose anyone has a link to an appropriate bulb???

Also, seems silly they don't illuminate the headlight adjustment switch as the only time you adjust them is when it's dark.... so can't see the switch haha Defender 90 XS TD5 (03 Reg)

A simple search would have given you the following, albeit for a Puma, but probably that will be the same bulbs as yours:

It's the same switch, Will. The thread that Eric has linked to does answer your question. Darren

I can confirm that the headlight levelling switch is lit up with the rest of them.
