Brightness of steering wheel buttons?

Seems like in my '07 TL I can adjust the brightness of the nav screen and the main dash lights, but the backlights on the steering wheel buttons (volume, cruise, MID, etc.) is super-low, and barely visible even when it's late at night. Any way to adjust the brightness so I can see those buttons better?

Thanks!

They are not adjustable. Maybe time for a new prescription?

It's controlled by the dimmer that controls the rest of the dash. I find they are a bit too dim at my settings though! Well, I'm just happy that they all light up.

Hmm, I'll have to play with it again tonight. Last night I set my main dash to max, and could still barely see the buttons on the steering wheel.

I have the same issue. I run my dash lights at minimum at night and the steering wheel buttons are not visible. If I crank up the dash, they do begin to light. Wish there was some way to increase their brightness while maintaining the others. I guess I'm getting picky
