    Minor electric question

    It appears that the bulb is shot on my lighted water pump switch. I haven't torn into it yet, but am I correct in thinking that the bulb, diode or whatever is sealed in the switch and I'd have to replace the whole switch? Also, can I get a generic replacement at any auto parts store ?
