Question GS400 Lighted E-shift

Does anyone have a lit up E-shift control buttons? I called Lexus and they said that they didn't think they were supposed to light up, but they sure look like they should to me. Any info would be greatly apppreciated.

Thanks,
J

hUmmm wait though, because if they DO LOOK like they should light up, then you might want to look around see if you are missing a wire/fuse somewhere <comes like that from factory> just like the early 90's LS with their build in radars but nobody knew they had them until someone in this board found it ..you just have to connect it <old type or radar, but you get my point..> or the SC's front turnning signal, when you turn your lights on at night, they stay off and they only come on when you turn, yet its a 1157 bulb <double filament> and it comes wired to work as a 1157 light, all you need is to connect the 2nd wire and then you have working double blinkers, once again comes like that from factory, not to mention a lot of options that come wired to the cars but they never got them since they were JDM options...

Read down the post, you will find a link showing you the socket, Chairmnofthbord was the one who did this set up first <or at least on CL..> he has the instructions, it's actually very simple
