XB Dash lights

Has anybody noticed that the buttons for the traction control, mirrors and dash board lights adjustment control do not illuminate at night?

The power window button does, but only for the drivers window.

The other night while driving, I tried to slightly adjust my outside mirror. I had to pull over and switch on the overhead lamp to see the mirror control buttons.

That, should not be.....

You can put some EL tape above them, but other than that you're pretty much SOL.

I put an LED in a little holder at the top of my A pillar. It shines down onto those controls. (plus a little more but if the officer asks, That's what it's for...)

You can't do it by feel? The buttons never change, they are always the same. Once you know where they are you should be able to do it and never take your eyes off the road.
