MY gas cap and sunshade/seat ventilation lights are out, but it's not a big deal to me. If this is the only thing wrong with an 8 year old car, that's fine with me. Everything else is perfect.

Update....................Ordered bulb from Lexus for the mirror control switch. I didn't ask the price. Before picking it up, I looked u[ the part number on line at a Toyota site. Price: $6.00. Lexus matched the price. Went to my local trustworthy mechanic to install which took him less than 5 minutes. No charge. End of story. All other switches are illuminated. Done deal!

You folks got me to thinking about the interior lights last night while driving and I think I found another little feature that Lexus built into these fantastic cars. I have not seen this item metioned on here.

When you have the power window lock switch on the drivers door in the "lock" position only the light on the drivers window paddle lights up. Put the switch in the "unlock" position and all four lights for the windows illuminate. How cool is that!

I noticed the same thing when I was checking all the buttons. It was only then that I found that the window lock button does not illuminate.

The details in this car continue to amaze me, and I thought after 5 years of ownership that I knew everything about the car!
