the only light that should be back-lit is the larger "mirrior" button. the heated mirrior button or L and R switch does not light up. When you depress the heated mirror button an amber light will come on. That's all.

You may be able to get to that amber light through the bottom of your dash.

Be very careful if trying to modify this switch. Replacing the bulb for the general switch illumination is not that bad--Remove the lower dash section, unplug the connectors (there are 4 total on both sides of the column) and the mirror control unit pops out. The bulbs can be replaced with a small flathead screwdriver.
The LED that lights in the heater button is a whole different animal and requires complete disassembly of the unit to replace. You are better off spending the $45-50 for the replacement unit, if it bothers you that much. Part # 35190-SEP-A11
