Headlight Washer Switch

[Sterling]

Can anyone confirm if the headlight washer switch is backlit? At night with the lights on, all the buttons illuminate except this one. Is that the norm?

Yes it is backlit. I've had to change the bulb on mine. It's an easy job to do (just prise the switch out, twist the bulb to remove it, and do the reverse to re-fit the new one). Lexus charge several pounds for a new bulb which isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but still feels like a rip-off for what's just a tiny incandescent light bulb. I don't know where else you could get one from though.

Yes, the headlight washer, headlight adjustment, rear fog light, heated seats, TRC button are all back lit.

Here are the bulbs i replaced mine with:

These unscrew from the switch, once the bulb is out, you have to then un-twist the wire from the bulb holder and remove the bulb, insert new bulb and re-wist the wire around the grooves on the bulb holder. Replace in the switch and plug switch in to see newly lit switches.
