    I just bought a 2010 SR5 DCLB. My climate control cluster has no lights so I can't see it at night. My question is, is it supposed to be lit? My knobs are gray (pic). The knobs do not seem translucent so I think I have the cheap version of the cluster. Can anyone confirm that the SR5 has no lighting? I promise I've searched for a while but all I've found is people upgrading their already lit cluster with cooler knobs and different colors.

    If my cluster in indeed not supposed to be lit, is it possible to upgrade or add lighting for reasonable cost/effort?

    It should absolutely be lit. Do ac and recirc button light up?

    Are those bulbs T3 Neo-wedge? I think they might be.

    If so, autolumination.com is a good source.

    $1.99 each! I read folks were paying $10 and $20 at the stealership! Nice...

    Mine do this too. A solid tap on either side usually gets them to turn on. OP, before you buy new bulbs, give the surround a couple taps.
