is it supposed to light up at night?? i never pay attention to that and tonight i turn on emergency light and couldnt find the button, so i had to turn on the doom light to find it. i was wondering if it is supposed to light up or not because it sucks if the lexus doesnt have the emergency button that can light up. and if it does light up then can someone show me how to change the light bulb in the button please.

I can't recall if mine lights up or not either. I did use it last week when I had to pull off the road quickly and I didn't have to look for it I just smacked my whole hand on the dash in the general area.

It's very convenient and no other buttons around it, and since its directly beside the clock it's easy to know where it is at night. If it doesn't have a light I don't really think it needs one due to the easy to hit location.

Very Good Question!!! I was wondering about that myself LOL. Mine doesn't light up either, during day or night time. I was thinking it must be the bulb but then, I'm also guessing this was the way it was originally designed which is stupid.

well, the more i think about it, my truck switch doesnt light up. i don't think our LS lights up either.

lol yea its a rip. you might be able to change the bulbs. i changed similar bulbs in other parts of the car.

check this out maybe it helps. and chances are lots of other buls are going to blow for you too. so $14 adds up

just buy a T3 or T4 bulb which this is....can be found for as cheap as a few bucks or i have a bag of OEM bulbs you can have since all mine are LEDS now, just PM me for these

i ALSO have my ML radio player done but with actual bulbs, it took me FOREVER to find the correct bulbs (well correct as in they will work correctly)

(you and i actually started talking about it in this thread and i pick it back up at the end of this thread)
