Rare facelift window switches with auto light up feature

A lighty-uppy window switch is dead handy, right enough.

But what I fancy is a lighty-uppy button or two on the a/c & fan controls. Does such a thing exist? I'm sure I read about a lighty-uppy version somewhere, years ago.

The AC button & Fan button should light up - im presuming you have a JDM Facelift 4th Gen.
Also I should have another light up AUTO window switch next week if your wanting one.

Ive just gone thru (with help from @newkid) and replaced all blown bulbs in the cabin - makes a big difference imo

vanzep - no, mine's pre-facelift. The facelift ones have light-up fan & a/c buttons, do they?

The car my tame scrappy's keeping for me may be a facelift - it has a (broken) cupholder and the different handbrake, but is an Auto so not sure whether that makes a difference to the pre-FL centre console setup - can you tell by looking at the unit whether the buttons light up? My life would be complete with lighty-up buttons there.

I already have a light-up window switch.

Not directly relevant to answering this question but something that made me go

when I was looking at the climate control info in the service manual today...
62ss023 page 22-6
The 4g climate control system has self-diagnostics.

Turn the ignition on, hold down Off and Auto together and while you hold them down, bits of the display light up to tell you whether any of the sensors or motors are u/s

@vanzep. Morning Nick, well they've finally arrived after much faffage vis-a-vis postage from Blighty. (I won't bore you with the details). Anyway, all ship-shape, no breakages and due for fitting (with posh lights) on Monday. Thanks buddy, I'm dead chuffed with them.

BTW - your rather nice wine box is still at my brother's house waiting for me to collect it when I'm back at Christmas. You're obviously one of them wine connersweers. Hic!

Hi Nick,They'll be handled with kid gloves

@bb1boy. That's a bummer. I even tried superglue on the set that's on my car but it just doesn't seem to bind the plastic together. Hope you can find a replacement buddy.
