Should accessory switches light up?

    Last night I was trying to find the fog light switch in the dark, and noticed that one switch only lights up. Should they all? Is there a replaceable light bulb in the switches?

    Some of the switches have back lights. Some - for example: the mirror controls ‐ do not. There are many threads here on how to replace the bulbs, which will burn out. I replaced all the bulbs in my switches with LEDs years ago, and have not thought about them since.

    On my 07 they all light up except the mirror and bed power station. With truck running the power station switch should light up green/orange when pressed. Got the 4WD switch to light up with a wire harness sold by a member here years ago... wonder if there's a way to get the mirror switch to illuminate?
