Lights at startup

I noticed in different videos and comparing to my truck inconsistencies on what lights come on while turning the engine over. Some have the engine temp, water in fuel, and fuel filter lights (pic below) while I have seen some have just the 2 filter lights and some have none. On my truck only the fuel filter light comes on while cranking. Is this normal or indicative of a problem?

Sorry if this info has been posted or can be found elsewhere but I haven't had any luck searching.

While cranking only? I wouldn’t sweat it. If the wait to start works and does it have any lights when running? If not, then keep trucking.

Yeah WTS works and fuel filter is on only when cranking, no lights when running. I figured I was just worried over nothing, thanks.
