Are you sure, they're VERY simple to change. I bought mine off eBay for $30. It's one connector and 2 screws to remove the panel with the hazard switch to change it. The two trim panels on either side of the radio and HVAC controls gently pop off to reveal the screws.
It's such a simple fix, you'd be silly not to change it. It's not like you have to take the whole car & dash apart. lol
