That makes sense.

If Richard wants to put LEDs in that switch, if there's even room, I'd
caution against using "flashlight" type LED bulbs; they're quite
bright. e.g. I installed this type of bulb in my 1988 Vanagon high
beam indicator position at dash (OE bulb is incandescant)

Even with a resistor in series to that bulb, I had to put a piece of
tape over it to dim it down. (no, I'm not opening up the cluster again
any time soon!). I'd bench tested the bulb with various resistors
before install, to no avail apparently.
