How to replace indicator bulb in circuit breaker?

[[2574]]

I'd be grateful if someone could advise how to replace a failed indicator bulb in a circuit breaker switch as illustrated below:

Front of the switch panel (at the bottom you'll see the leftmost breaker is on but not illuminated, failed bulb) -

Rear side of the breaker:

I guess it's possible and I can see that the breaker can be pushed out the front of the switch panel but it will require some force I think so before I break something I thought I'd ask!

TIA

First thing I'd do is make sure the earth for the light is doing its thing. If it really is the bulb, I'd have a play, but wouldn't be optimistic about my chances of getting it all back together with a new LED. I'd expect to swap it for one of the extras.

I'd just replace the switch, looks like one of these, but double check: On Off Single Pole Illuminated Rocker Switch | 16 Amp Rocker Switch

That's just a switch ?
Looks like it's a circuit breaker ?

Has it ever worked ?I just disconnected one because didnt want the light on all the time when the switch was on,maybe just needs reconnecting.

Usually held in with sprung plastic tabs. Probably difficult to reach and squeeze, but no force required.

The rocker itself might come out and give access to the lamp. Try to gently spread the sides of the switch housing to release the two pivots. There's a chance it will break, but it might work.

Agree, Most likely the rocker can be removed, carefully, Just have a look around it and see if there are any clips , possibly centrally situated on the rocker, usually little spigots either side. Lamp or LED should plug in.
