Default Can You tell me if this switch lights up when you turn on your headlights?

I am talking about the power/snow switch which is next to the heated seat switch and the vsc button in the middle console. I was just curious if it lights up when your headlights are on like the heated seat switch and the vsc switch does. I happened to look at it last night and notice it was dark and the other 3 switches were all lit up. So before I make an *** of myself at the dealer I want to make sure it really does light up. Thanks guys

Mine doesnt light up unless I put it in either power or snow. When its in either of those modes it lights up. When its in normal mode theres no light.

It's supposed to give the car more juice. But I don't feel the difference.
Though the SNOW button really drags the car down.

Just tryed mine and even when I switch it to power or snow mode notting lights up execpt the lights on the dash. My lights on the dash work fine it's just the switch on the console. So I guess their is a bulb there if some of you have it lit up.

yeah like others said, it just changes the shift point, there are no more "juice" from the car
