Question Series 3 Power Window Switches

Anyone know where would be the best place to find the power window switches from a series 3 falcon, they are the switches that light up when you have the lights on.

I've got some from an AU1 Fairlane. I'm pretty sure they do light up, but I'll check next week. The car will be getting wrecked next weekend hopefully so I'll give you a yell.

Here's a pic of them in my series 3 Futura. Can't really tell that they're illuminated, but they are!



Also, scratch what I said about the Fairlane ones. They're definitely not illuminated. I've put one of them in the back door of the wagon while I fix the original switch, and it doesn't light up.

I've got a drivers and front passengers spare out of a Ghia if you want, they've currently got blue LED's in them, rather than the standard dull whitish bulbs. I'm not sure what they're worth?

private9, the Fairlane ones should light up, it could be the bulbs. When I changed mine all to LEDs there were 3 out of the 7 bulbs that were gone from the originals.

If you want mine I can put any colour LEDs in there you like. They do look awesome.
