Well whatdya know, my MY09 *does* have a light on the start button! Never noticed it before.

 

they all have a blub in there, mine was burnt out long time ago

i changed the blub when i took my dash apart, it's rather simple actually

 

what about the top down button?

 

^ Does not light up afaik

 

This also lights up. My start button bulb is dead but my ROOF switch still lights up just fine

 

my 01 lights up

 

The 'Roof" Switch should light up and this is the easist of all the bulbs to change

 

I've owned an '00 and now an '06 and never noticed either one.

 

this one lights up too, similar to the hazard button beside it. You need a new bulb on that one, but it is easy to change.

 

I pulled the dashboard out last night and removed all of the bulbs including the start button bulb. I think I had about 6 bulbs burned out, but I'm replacing all of them at one time, don't want to do this job too many times. The dashboard removal was actually easier than I thought it would be, not to hard at all, and it doesn't take too long either. In addition to the dashboard bulbs I removed the ones in the cruise control switch and defroster switch, as they were burned out as well - neither lit up at night. So I'm doing my dashboard, start button, and 2 switches. My roof button and hazard button light up okay right now in the centre console so I won't mess with them.

I wanted to try the LED bulb replacement but I don't want to order them on line and wait for them and deal with the polarity issue and different lengths. The LED's do look nice and should last much longer though. I just ordered all new OEM bulbs from the dealer, they will be here on Monday and I can get it all buttoned up after that. Looking forward to seeing all of my switches again.
