Default Homelink button illumination

I cant see the HOMELINK buttons at night. My 08 rx350 are illuminated.

Did lexus remove the illumination on the 2010-2011 RX?

I know there isn't or it would be on here, but wouldn't it be wise for an aftermarket company to come up with an upgrade for this? There aren't many "accessories" you can get for the RX (not needed of course) and this would definately be one that I would be willing to pay top dollar for.

"ended up opening the sun roof with a pile of snow", i worry about that on rainy days so I always stop in front of the garage and carefully find the button. designer probably doesn't have garage so it was defintely an oversight.

I bought a little self adhesive rubber button and stuck it on the garage door opening button. Now being that it's raised a little it's pretty easy to find in the dark.

When I first got the car I tried programming all three buttons the same, so no matter which one I pushed the door would open.

Not possible. Programming the second erases the first. Live and learn.

I'd put stickers in different shapes painted with glow in the dark paint.
