Default 4x4 indicator lights

I recently bought a 97 4dr 4x4 Blazer and the 2HI indicator bulb is burnt out. Does anyone know the part number for it or where I could get a replacement?

You will have to replace the entire switch, rockauto.com is the cheapest. However, are you sure its in 2HI and not stuck in 4x4? Your local parts store should carry them as well, but they will cost more.

The 4Lo and 4Hi bulbs work and I can feel the 4x4 switch on and off.

The bulb for a 97 is a PC74 and it can be replaced. Just pop the switch out, twist the bulb holder out of the back, and pull the bulb straight out of the twist-lock socket.

Thanks to both of you, at least now I know where to get the bulb and a replacement switch. I pulled the whole switch out a few days before asking this because it wasn't lighting up at all and it turns out the previous owner had unplugged it. But it did seem like the bulbs could come out.
