Actually... the IS300 PWR/SNOW switch is lit. If you pop out the switch... you'll see a tiny bulb in the side. You can easily replace this bulb.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! DO NOT BUY A NEW BULB ASSEMBLY!!!

That's like saying if you have a flat tire... buy a brand new car!

The bulb itself was like a dollar or two... virtually nothing. I just went to the Lexus dealer... pointed it out on the screen and got the bulb from them. It's really small. I don't think it's something you can just buy at any store... but I could be wrong. It's like a tiny tiny version of the bulbs that light the instrument panel HVAC controls. It twists into the side of the switch.

hmm, guess it was overkill for me to replace all 4 rims when only one had minor curb rash...
