Leaning towards getting an Illuminated AV switch for my Arbiter with sound since I don't want to buy another one (waste of money). How would I go about putting it in?

need to pull the switch that is in now out.  cut the two wires soldered to it and solder them to your new switch.  Also u will need to splice in 2 extra wires a  pos and neg for the led
on your illuminated switch. U will want to protect the led so check your voltage and the led forward voltages and resistor accordingly.  Be careful pulling switch out tape up your hilt with masking tape around the switch hole use small flathead and work it out slowly. I have a speacial pair of big tweezers that i use specifically for this got at Menards like 5$ for the set. U will need to drill new hole for switch
the exact drill size for press fitting illuminated switches I am unsure. I use a step up bit and dremel.
