I'm a long time GM only owner, and I just bought my first Acura (2011 RDX). On GM's, when you move the shifter the indicator letters beside the shifter light up / indicate to show the position.

But on my RDX, the indicators next to the shifter do NOT light up/ change. (Only the instrument panel indicator shows current position). Is this normal? Or should something be indicating next to the shifter as well?

Could be a dead bulb in there. Check factory service manual to confirm.

At night all of the pRNDS letters glow (light up), but none more than the others. Should there be something else indicating there?

The current gear should show up in your gauge cluster, to the right of the fuel level.

Yes it indicates properly in the instrument cluster, thanks. But at the shifter I was expecting the current positing to light up brighter or something, but I guess not. At the cluster they just all gently glow regardless of shifter position?

Correct, it's just mild ambient lighting on the shifter itself.
