You have a picture? Or a name of the button?
This thread is more of a mystery than the actual switch!
Aftermarket stuff maybe? In '05 there is a block off plate to the left of the mirror switch (in '06 they added the TPMS button there).
Here's a couple shots of '05s from ebay, one with night vision.

Sweet. I got a cloaking device off of Ebay once. But seriously, what is "night view"?

I wish LC's got the folding mirror option
Night view was an (IMHO) ridiculously cool option that provided an active Night vision system. It includes a pair of powerful IR (infrared) lamps in the bumper and a dash IR imager that projected onto a heads up display on the windshield ahead of the driver.
I tried to find one when i was looking for my truck but no luck. It was discontinued at some point but i do not know why...maybe not popular enough?

^ Cost prohibitive.
You'll also need the mirror computer ECU which sits in the drivers door. Each mirror retails around $700, the switch is hundreds of dollars and so is the ECU. So a roughly $1,500 project to have folding mirrors.

since no one knows what switch/button the OP is talking about and you guys are already talking about this area, lemme ask a question.
I installed an aux light switch yesterday in the left most blank. When the dash is lit, all the switches shine green. My switch shines red. Does any of you know how to modify the switch to shine green or where i might find a switch like this that shines green? I can live with it, but i was wondering if there was a way.

Color the bulb with a green Sharpie.
Apparently the OP's switch was the self destruct since we haven't heard back.

Narva has many switches with different colors.
Pull the switch apart and replace the green condom on the bulb with an orange.

If the switch has a bulb, give it a green condom.
Alternatively, or if it already has a led, replace with a green led.
On my 2004 w/o nav, I replaced all the tiny bulbs in the hvac buttons with leds. Those bulbs are smaller than the normal dash tiny bulbs, and don't last long. A bit of work.
