Default Replacing globes for aerial/demister/door etc buttons

Are these buttons illuminated by removable T5 globes, like the cluster, or do they have the tiny soldered in globes like the headlamp switch (and I suspect, window switches) ?

I've had these T5 LED 'globes' installed into my instrument cluster for the past 2 1/2 years, they're cheap and they work great, unlike about four other T5 LED globes I had tried previously (usually failed within half a year, sometimes blinking randomly). Hoping I can use more of the same for my dash buttons.

Mate they are replaceable just like the cluster .. Can't remember if they were T5 or T10 globes but I changed all mine for blue ones.

They'd probably be T5 then. T10 is the larger size that is used for parkers. I'll add a couple more T5 LED packs to my order, cheers!
