Default An odd bulb blew out... pix inside

Okay.. to the left of the steering where is that little dimmer switch and **** to turn your lights on and off and dim the gauges... anywho, at night that little box wont light up anymore.

So i took it apart...







You can see that little rod-like piece sticking out of it... theres a bulb on the end, i couldnt get the bulb out, but it unscrews off of the whole assembly there (you can see the bulb by itself in the 3rd pic).

so whats the part number for this? lol.. or do i just get that little led and take off the old one somehow? It seemed tight, so i wasnt sure if it would come off or not.

TIA.
- Joe.

That switch costs about $60 I think at the dealer for the whole thing. My foglights quit working so I took it apart and figured out how it worked, then figured out that I couldn't fix it. Bought a new one.

Mine did that too! I thought I was going crazy one night and just thought that maybe it never lit up. Still have not fixed it. It is dark on that side of the wheel!
