You realize they make lighted coverplates if all you want is a nightlight

I have never seen a covered plate that lit up. Thank you.

Rather than add a night light to the switch, I would change the overhead fixture. We have bathroom fan/light fixtures that include a night light. It is amazing how well a small night light in the ceiling fixture lights up the room.

SwitchLight for Double Gang Switches

SwitchLight is a light switch cover plate with built-in LED lights that are activated by an automatic on/off sensor. It provides beautiful accent, pathway, and night lighting for your home, and makes it easy to spot your light switches in the dark, no matter how sleepy and disoriented you may...

The incoming feed to the fan switch needs to be powered from the load side of the gfci. Right now it’s being powered by incoming line side

Winner.... Thanks

I tried this this am and all is good. I may decide just to add a receptacle below cuz it is an open inside bay.
Thanks all!

Glad you got it fixed. But those lighted covers come in toggle and decora style. Just have to scroll thru site.

Ok. I only looked on Amazon. Thanks again

The reason it tripped was due to uneven load thru gfci. The neutral was running thru gfci, but the fan positive wire was not. Now that you rerouted fan feed, its all balanced.

Too late for this thread, but this is what I use: plugin switch - Image Search

Plug the nightlight into the plugin switch.

After all that, I'm going to add a receptacle below instead of that funky plug combo. It just looks weird. Thanks all
