Climate Control Assembly Lights: ON / OFF

Hello,

For a while I now I believed my climate control assembly lights were off. So, following directions here, I bought the 3 bulbs from the dealer and just finished installing them.

To my suppress, the bottoms themselves are not illuminated (see attached picture taken right now in the dark car). However, a green light appears below the buttons when pressed. Is this the normal behavior. Aren't they supposed to be illuminated (so that you can see them clearly and press the right one)?

And if they are indeed not working properly (not getting illuminated), what other steps should I take to resolve the issue - as I said, I just changed the bulbs.

thanks - MN

the buttons themselves do not luminate, only the green light under the buttons.

thanks, Fanatic... so in the dark, you have to kind of fiddle around to hit the right button ?

I thought my dash used to be somehow illuminated .... maybe, maybe, the extra illumination came from the stock stereo, before the upgrade...

ohhh well...

thanks - again - MN

My buttons used to light up. Then I left the controls in the frame as I struggled with the screws holding the stock radio. After some abuse I got them out buy my hvac buttons quit lighting up.

Smacking them around is what killed mine.
