You guys must have bad eyesight or something, need to eat some more carrots?

I have a black interior and tint and I don't really feel like I have any issues seeing what I need to see in the cabin at night. Though, to be fair, I don't think I've even noticed that the steering wheel buttons light up at all.... do they? If they do, it must be real subtle.

I hate the way they are so dim. My wifes Acura TL has bright illuminated switches.

I think they keep the illumination level down because many Lexus drivers have cataracts that will create largely increased glare during night time driving. A persons visual acuity can drop by 2-3 lines when they have a cataract and light is introduced into the eye. This is most likely for the visual comfort of some of the older drivers.

I would almost agree with glow in the dark. It's horrible. 2010 and newer are much better though.
