4x4 Selector Dial Light??

Is the 4x4 Selector Dial supposed to be illuminated? Specifically, the
"2WD, 4 High, 4Low" lettering. Everything else on the Dash & Instrument Clusters are illuminated. If my bulb is burned out, how do I change it?
Bulb part #? Thx

My 02 lights up but some times I have to do the trick that makes the auto air work again to make those lights light up.

The trick is

While the excursion is running, flip your lights to automatic then all the way over to on(manual) on the right, then back all the way to the left then lock and unlock your doors then engage the 4x4 high then disengage the you should be lit.

Oh brother watch out ... you just jinxed yourself mighty powerfully.
While driving yesterday my dash did the "power-up dance full sweep and light show", even reset my trip meter back to 0.00 ...
