Electric Mirror Control Illumination
Shouldn't the electric mirror control be illuminated at night with the lights on? I just noticed that mine is not. If so, what is required to get it illuminated? Is there a bulb to replace and does that small panel surrounding it just pop out? Thanks all.

I just checked and mine is not illuminated either. So, either we both have blown lights, or there is no light for some reason for the mirrors. Strange because the mirror adjustment and parking assist are illuminated. I see that the center light is lite on the folding control, but that's it.
I would say it's probably not illuminated. If there is no light to illuminate it, it would not be worth the effort to do it.

I found an old thread from 2009 titled "05 LS430 mirror switch light" Apparently there is a bulb there. The little pocket draw comes out and there is a phillips screw that releases the switch. The bulb is around $13 (at least back in 2009). I'm sure it's not a big deal.

I did all in one go - mirrors, hazards, seat ventilation, suspension controls. All were out. Using catalog i ordered lamps (all different part no.s !) and replaced all.
It's all illuminated now.

my switches are lighted, however the panel for the trunk and gas cover release are not. should these be illuminated and if so how do you change the bulb? I have tried to remove this section ( key lock out for the trunk) but cannot figure it out.

Glad you mentioned this. Before I go out to replace the mirror control bulb, I will check everything to see if it is lit up. Why make a second trip? Can these bulbs be purchased through Toyota if I give them the appropriate info or do they need an actual part number?

I just finished checking all my buttons for illumination and other than the electric mirror control, the following are also out:
Driver's side master window lock button
power sunroof sliding button
power sunroof tilt button
dashlight dimmer twist button
headrest up down buttons (both)
Are all these buttons illuminated?
