Illuminated light switch

I have a 2016 Vengeance Toy Hauler. We started dry camping this year and just swapped all my light bulbs to LED. I was wondering if anyone knew the power consumption of the Illuminated light switch's. I can not seem to turn that feature off.

I don't but the one right next to my head I cover with a towel at night because that thing is insanely bright at night.

If you want to defeat the light and if it's a standard rocker switch pull the switch out and pull the light feed wire off the light bulb stud.

Thanks Bubbles. I will have a look. That would be great if I could at least disconnect a few of them off. Don't think they consume that much power but some of them are annoying.

Each switch has 3 wires. 2 to complete the circuit of the switch and the 3rd for powering the bulb in the switch. I believe it is the wire in the middle. Just unplug it and use electrical tape to cover the end, just in case.

I had a look today at the switch. There is a snap on cover that you just pry/pull off. This exposes the screws to the switch. Once you unscrew this expos the three plugs on the back of the switch. The bottom wire on my model was the supply to the bulb. See attached.

Is that not the silliest place to put those LEDs? My bed is in a slideout. There's a bright blue LED light switch right above my head.

Who in the world thought that was a good idea?

I know hey? That's why I unplugged a few of the bulbs that were in awkward places.

Thanks for the info. I have a 2016 38L13 and those lights drive me nuts in the bedroom. I put black tape over them.
