Question Another dash lighting question.............

Does the headlight switch and the electric mirrors panel suposed to light up when the dash lights are on? Mine is totally in the dark.........makes me wonder. If there is light bulbs back behind that panel, the headlight switch and electric mirrors seem to share a boxy-looking housing behind the dash bezel. Anyone know about it?

Only right before it burns out.

Ok, well those responses answer my question with a big NO. I think it's awful weird how there are "symbols" identifying the headlight switch and electric mirrors.......but they don't light up at night? Huh, Dodge must have fallen asleep on this one. At least my heater control light works now.
