I thought mine didn't, until SSS pointed out that it did thanks to the schematics, the bulb holder is recessed into the side of the switch & a bit of a bugger to get out :roll:

long legged 3mm wire filament type bulb that is pushed into the holder & the legs are then bent round into place to hold it in. The holder itself is just a twist fit. check out the link to the other thread I posted above, it tells you in there which bulbs to get & where from :wink: It's an easier job than the door lock :lol:

Never noticed it before, been out to look and no light showing. Will have to take it apart now to see if it has a lamp in it, hate things that dont work
