Default Stupid question - is the trip computer control illuminated?

Okay so I haven't driven the XKR at night for quite awhile, is the trip computer control illuminated? For the life of me I cannot remember. I really don't want to drop the knee panel and pull the fascia to replace a bulb that doesn't exist and couldn't find it in the JITS.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Not stupid at all.

No, it's not illuminated.

Curiously, the steering wheel controls for the stereo and cruise conrtol aren't illuminated either.

I think they were going for a cockpit which didn't resemble a jet airliner.

Are you referring to the buttons upper right of the fuel/temp gauges?

Mine are illuminated. The blue 'condom' on the bulb is wearing off, so it appears mostly light green now.

Alrighty then, I guess there are a few of us that need to get some bulbs replaced!

Mine's lit up as well.

Sadly, I had to go look to make sure.

The steering wheel controls are not supposed to be lit, correct?

Thanks. Also a dumb question I suppose, but I didn't think the trip computer was illuminated either so thought I'd double check...

There never is a dumb question really, if you don't ask, you'll never know and therefore cannot learn. Keep asking.

+1 Jim, we never tease one for asking what may seem like, a silly question. I've asked my share, believe me.

Me too Matt, I'm sure I've got a few left in me yet.

Everyday is a school day.
