You may think that these seem expensive, but in all of the race catalogs that sell these for cars are around $15-$18 a piece without an LED. So these look like a bargin to me. Since I bought 2 of the racing ones a long time ago for my cabinet.
You were right crashwg in that if the cover comes down the switch goes out, so I am switching mine out with a momentary switch. Open the cover - push the button - close cover.
