Default Ultra Luxury back light question

For those with the UL models. Does your height and sport / normal button have back lighting? Seems odd that those two buttons on mine would not. I was thinking the bulbs might be out.

Yes, they do. All of those switches & buttons have internal lights.

Thanks, I'm ordering two. Had to call to find that part number. Hard one to find. Does the panel containing the switches just pop out?

Here it is in case anyone else needs to replace it:

9001001059

Larish I'd like to know if that panel just pops out too, my wife says she pushed my height switch in the other day putting it into storage while I am deployed in Afghanistan.

My PWR/ECT button doesn't light up, same for the seat heat/cool function. Is the seat heater button area also illuminated?

They all should light up. Check my pic above. Looks like the little bulb is the same for them all. You can also find the part number and link to Lexus of South Atlanta above as well.

A good guide on removing the buttons would be of great help, we don't want to start braking stuff

I have had to remove all those panels all the way up to the navigation when I installed my Viastech ipod unit. Click this link. this is a great thread. Scroll down a little bit until you get to the pictures of the dash board. IT shows you exactly how to remove so you can get to the back of the switches to change the bulbs. Hope this helps...
