I've taken the switch out and contacts are all fine. Put it back in and it's stopped lighting up. Both the illumination buld and the "on" bulb are out.

Spot on as it turns out.

Haven't looked at it again since I posted this originally. I finally got around to it today and now have HRW, reversing lights and a foglamp after some splicing in of new wires and the smell of burning flesh on soldering iron.
