Interior backlighting issue?

On my '14 Limited, I noticed that at night when the door panels are backlit (headlights on), the power fold mirror control and the window lock switch are not backlit. Looking at the mirror control, it looks more "solid" than the others and the lettering not clear allowing light to pass. So I think those should not be lit. But the lettering on the window lock switch looks like all the others, like it should be backlit.

On yours, are either of these switches/controls backlit? And are you sure? From memory, I would have sworn they all lit, but sure enough, these two don't. Here's a pic to see what I mean.

Thanks

so, you either have a bulb out, under the switch panel, or they never were lit. IMO, I really only need to see the window switches at night anyway... and for that matter, so as not to take my eyes off the road, I usually just feel around down in that corner anyway until I find the switch I need. Not being lit is not a deal-breaker for me... sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Thanks. It doesn't bother me much either, but since it's a brand new truck (about 3 weeks old), I'm just trying to figure out if it's supposed to be like this. My Nissan Armada was similar, in that not all the switches were lit.

I noticed tonight that the dash dimming wheel isn't backlit either, but I'm guessing that isn't supposed to be. Anyone else, can you compare my driver's door lighting to yours on a late model Expedition?

Thanks.
