the center dash of my car at night is quite dark. I was wondering if the hazard and defrost buttons are supposed to be lit. Also after i put my cd player in i noticed that only the hot and cold dial is dim, the other dials are as bright as the should be. Any ideas? just thought i'd ask before i ripped it all apart later.

Yep, they're supposed to light up. See my page for more info, or let me know if you need help. Its not hard to do, just takes patience.
