Yes, it should light up. Your trip computer buttons on the right hand side should also light up. To remove it you need to pull the wood fascia off from the instrument panel. Just pull it straight backwards.... it's a bit unnerving, but trust me, it does just pull off.
Then wiggle the switch loose (it just clips in)
To remove it completely, pull the wiring loom out and disconnect the connector.
When you turn the switch around to see the back of it, there is a small bulb holder and bulb in the middle of the switch. Take this out then try and find the bulb type that fits. I couldn't get one, so I just used a small general purpose 12v bulb and did away with the bulb holder and just soldered the bulb to the tracks (You'll see what I mean when you get the bulb holder out of the switch)
This wasn't a very elegant solution but it works.
