Yes ALL the indicator buttons light up when pushed. Are you referring to that, or the backlighting? Which, also, YES should light up when you turn your headlights on

They should light up. There are 2 or 3 small bulbs in there. They twist and pull out. They are somewhat easy to replace. I did mine a year ago when the left side went out.

no...if OP is referring to the buttons for feet, feet/face, etc...they're NOT the twist bulbs. They're soldered directly to the climate control PCB.

No, for 5th gen, they are twist on. three bulbs. The bulb on the left is responsible for the dash/floor/dash & floor buttons. Been there, done that.

Here is the writeup.
