The lights on my power window switches have burned out.
I took them apart and it appears that I'd have to buy a whole new assembly to fix it.

Does anyone know if it's fixible without buying a new one?

Mine have been out since I bought the truck. I was thinking the same thing as you.

on the 95 you can twist the lights out.

On a NBS i believe they are soldered in.

What about an '88? Are they supposed to light up?

If so, what kind of bulbs do they take?

No an 88 will not light up

i dont know about the window lights but my heated seat bulb went out and it just twists out.i found a bulb at radio shack that works just fine you just have to twist the wires around the platics thing and put it back in.the bulbs were like 3 for a buck.i can get the part number if you need.i have 2000 gmc sierra ext cab.
