Question Few more button lighting questions...

Sorry to be asking about this again, but I intend on doing all the needed bulbs tomorrow and I dont want to be taking apart stuff to find out that button wasnt lit in the first place.....(so assuming it is night out and the headlights are on...)
1-The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 buttons on radio...are those supposed to turn dark when you put a CD or tape in....and thus are only lit when you have the radio on (or I suppose off too)?
2-Driver side armrest......the power left and right mirrors button, should those light up? How about the window lock button?
3-Any of the power seat controls on sides of seats....should those light up?
4-Hazard light button on center console, lit or dark?
5-Should there be some sort of light when you open the hood in the hood area? Couldnt find any assembly.
6-The memory seat buttons, "set" "L1" l"L2" on the driver side....should those light up?
7-The overdrive button on automatic shift ****, should that light up?
Finally..on the cluster itself.....
I know some of the lights come on when you turn the ignition on.....but none of the lights in the RPM circle...the ABS, traction, and oil warning light come on.....and the 3 warning lights to the left of the RPM circle...the rear light failure, low washer fluid, and low coolant....none of those come on either. Are those 6 supposed to stay dark?
Thanks for input!

well since no one is answering I'll answer with the best of my knowledge. Someone correct me if they see something wrong.

1. This is a lil complicated..well not really. When the CD player in playing a CD the 1,2,3...etc dont lit up. The buttons saying like next track and stuff do. Those only light up when the radio is on. When a tape is playing same thing happens as the CD player.

2. I dont believe the mirror controls light up. I do beleive the little dot lights up green. I think its a green color when its lit.

3. Seat controls do not light up but I'm not 100% sure about that

4. I think in my SC the hazard light is a low dark red light..

5. I noticed the hood light thing too. I thought a car like a Lexus (especially the crown jewel of Lexus) would have a light under but hood but I guess they over looked it

6. I dont recall but I dont think they light up. Besides you cant push those while the car is in any other gear besides Park. So its not like you're going to be pushing L1 or L2 during your ride. Normally u'd push them right when you get in while the courtesy lights are on.

7. I've never looked at the OD button but if it lit up I'm sure it woudl of caught my attention

If you put your car in Start position without going into ignition some of those lights should come on if not all of them. I think at first all of them will come on and a few will turn of after a second or two. To do a quick check though when you're driving take off your seat belt. If a seat belt light doesnt come you...you gotta a problem with that bulb.

I think that should help you out a little be at least..

later
