Are the controls for the mirror and sunroof supposed to be illuminated? The other controls around the mirror are such as dash brightness, headlight level etc. Not the others.

Not exactly the end of the world for me, just curious whether or not it needs fixing.

One of the more irritating things - I can only imagine the logic behind that. AFAIK, and I've asked Mr T - there's not meant to be illumination on those controls. But I bet if you pull the switches you'll find the right wiring loom connectors .... Wink

nope - just had the mirror switch apart. No sign of a bulb or LED but more so, the writing is paint / printed onto the black plastic. The others, it is clearly translucent. (There's a pun there... Neutral

I wondered that too and can ony conclude that at 'night' it's less likely these things will be used and therefore don't need illumination. Personally I think it is a bit mean spirited. Razz
