You could try a hair dryer?
I have heard of this method for restoring colour to black plastic bumpers and trims. I am not sure if it would work on the switches.
Alternatively, you could always just replace them?

Or a little bit of cheap spray paint. Will only need a dusting obviously masking the other bits
