Lighting Above VSA Switch

Does anyone know if the key icon and the mirror tilting icons above the VSA switch are supposed to light up at night? I noticed that those icons in my TL don't light up at night. It's kinda weird but I just wanted to make sure that it was standard on all TL's and not an issue with the lighting in my car.

Thanks!

Mine don't light up either. I was wondering the same thing, but I'm assuming since both yours and mine are like that, it's supposed to be that way.

To be more clear, here's the area that I'm talking about.



If this area does not in fact light up, it's really kinda weird that Acura forgot this. This is the only area that I've noticed that isn't lit but should be.

Oh, that's just my rocker switch to go back and forth from my Nav screen to my DVD player. That's actually an old picture cause I replaced that switch and blank area with DCC's DVD switch. It's SWEET!

By the way, do you guys know what that key looking icon does next to the mirror adjusting switches? I never use it. I'm guessing it's for the heated mirrors?

That is true. The little bulb inside lights up but not the actual icon. I guess that's just wishful thinking at this point
