Its only the auto and i think its the window lock button that lights up so its onlt two buttons on that whole panel that lights and iam sure that most people dont notice them because they are dull .

And plus after a while you will get a automatic feel to where they are.

Know this post is super old but if anyone's wondering there is a way to do this. I changed mine from amber to blue and white to match my gauge and climate controls and it looks dope. If interested let me know and ill give a DIY
