Default Nx300 memory seats

Hey Everyone! While driving at night I realized that the memory seats setting buttons on the drivers door don’t illuminate at night is this normal or is it suppose to illuminate ?

Unfortunately, Lexus choose to ignore driver convenience when positioning and sourcing this switch. Perhaps they used Fiat as a role model for excellence. It might have cost them all of US$0.50 to add illumination. The necessary wires were less than 3 inches away.
I was annoyed enough to install some back-lighting, so it is at least easy to locate the switch at night.

n0v8or already replied, so no, it's not illuminated.

Not to deflect from Lexus cost-cutting, but even Maserati have their hand in Chrsyler's cookie jar too
