I agree it's not "burn-out proof" but maybe burn out warning. The only way I can see that working is that the pilots are wired in series with the bulbs somehow. So a burnt out bulb would remove the ground path for the pilot light. Just guessing here. John only posted pics of the wiring side of his alternate switch, not the one he's planning on using IIRC. Maybe John could post some detailed pics of the innards of his switch so we could be sure how the pilot lights are connected. Assuming they're grounded just doesn't quite work. If I could get my hands on a 700 switch, I could trace it out.
