Hey guys, stupid question but did the rear power window switches in a by acclaim ever light up, I'm asking because I wanted to replace with a red led, but they haven't ever lit up, so I pulled apart the switch and there is a bulb in there? So no clue if there meant to, but neither do

Yep they do. The little globe in it has a green skin on it. The only way u can make it red is put a red skin on it but not the lollie from the deli lmfao.

Hmm, well any ideas on where I could get these skins from or why they aren't turning on? I don't think it would be a fuse but neither of them light up

Oh and if there not working they proly blown or come loose inside. There not a normal bulb that u push in, they got a flat plastic electrical plate thing that has two copper bits on each end. U push that into the switch and it clicks in. If there not workin u would have to get another switch and change the skin on them cause I highly doubt it u can replace the globes

Well when I had it apart before the looked fine, but I was probing around with the voltmetre before, just on the plug (car side) and I couldn't seem to find a decent voltage in, any idea which pins are for the light, there's 5 in total and split 2 one side 3 the other.

Nah not really lol, and they look like they just do gauges, I'll have to try plugging it in and seeing if the light terminals have voltage, then I could replace with a led hopefully :)
