Could have sworn they did when you turn on the headlights. Got my car back from some work that involved removing the center consol and now they aren't lighting up.

They should, they must've forgotten to plug it back in when they reassembled the console.

You meant the illuminating part right?

The green rectangle light goes on when I turn on the fan, but when it's off, nothing is illuminated when the headlights are on. I thought the dails are always lit once you turn on the headlights?

Those lights only turn on when the seats are in cool / heat mode. Headlights don't affect them either.

How about the dails and surrounding graphics? I could have sworn those or something in this area lit up at night so you knew where to find the dails. If not, then I'm officially declaring a senior moment.

When the dial is in the middle position=light off.
Heated position=Red light.
Cool position=Green light.
Does not matter if headlights are on or off.

Nope, just that little rectangle. Try taking some Omega-3.

I'm pretty sure they light up when your head lights are on.

Looking above, I got about a 50/50 response. lol Shall I email my service consultant?
Final question, when the headlights are turned on, does any portion of the heated/cooled seat dails/graphics light up?

I can go and check tomorrow night. I know the green and amber lights turn on when you turn either the cool or heat on, but I'm pretty sure the dial with the number illuminates too. How else would you know what number setting you have it set on at night?

I just checked this morning on the way in to work, and I can confirm that the dial and numbers light up with the lights on.
