Should the Climate Controls be lit ? - see picture

Hi guys. My climate controls (i.e. heat, fan, and mode selector) have never been illuminated at night. I always figured that this was normal. Now I'm wondering if there is a bulb back there that just isn't working.



Here is a photo of the climate controls in the daylight and one at night. Is there a bulb back there ?

Thanks, Joe

You can search for days and not find what your looking for.

I think too much information can be a bad thing.

But thanks for the good info.

Would you know if entire instrument panel molding has to come off ?

It looks like one piece that surrounds the stearing wheel and speedometer as well as the climate controls. Thanks again.
