    Easy... remove the Bulb. Then use a 5mm Through Hole LED and bend the legs at 90 degrees. work the led into the bulb hole and so that the led aims at the front of the switch. then solder 1 leg to the bulb mounting pad. Dont forget to check the polarity with a meter first. then you will need to add a current limiting resistor to the other leg. The value depends on the LED you are using. I used larger surface mount resistors to make it nice and clean. Ill pop one out for you and post a picture later.

    No they don't. None of them do.

    You have to turn them in a cirtin direction until you feel the pressure then set it where want it.
