Are your antenna buttons lit up?

Hey guys, I was just trying to figure out if the buttons to raise and lower the antenna should light up when I switch on my headlights?

Common sense would say they should. So do yours light up?

mine is out also. I figured they should have a light in them as the rest of the buttons do.

Not mine. Doesn't exist, though, either. I gave it to a cruiser buddy.

The switch does light up. I bought a new bulb the other day, put it in, and it didn't work. I played with it some more and found that it takes some force to really twist it into position (more than the other bulbs I've replaced). So make sure the bulb is in first

I am 50% on the lights. Sometimes the other one lights up, it's a little tempermental.

On my 94 the "up" button was lit and then I smacked the dash and the other one started working. Though it was a highly technical dash smack.

I knew they should light up. It would be helpful at night.

How about the ECT button? I'm guessing that should be lit also.

Just took mine apart in my '95. Single bulb lights both buttons - A Type bulb. All the other switches seem to be B Type bulbs.

I think the only buttons that don't light up are the mirror control and the dimmer knob.

Cool Switch lights

And the factory fog light switch does not light up as well.
Allthe other switches should light up although I have a hell of a time remembering how I got the Rear Demister Switch apart to replace the lamp inside it.
I have the antenna switch with the two buttons and one f the lamps is out at the moment. I will save it until there are a few more out and fix them all at once.

Cheers

Up lights up, Down is burnt out. I have the new bulb from C Dan sitting in my tool box.

For about $8, I replaced the bulb and now the up/down buttons are lit at night...even though my power antenna doesn't work.

I'm still deciding if I want to pay $200-300 for the antenna replacemtn.
