Are there lights on wiper controls, head light controls, steering wheel, cruise?
Do any of the following light up in the 4Runner?
I have a 2008 V8 Limited 4x4.

1) Turn signal and headlight controls?
2) Cruise control stalk?
3) Stalk for windshield wipers ?
4) Radio controls on steering wheel?

I ask because none of them light up on my 4Runner, but MOST of the interior dash lights were blown when I got the truck. So, for example, I eventually learned that the cup holder console has lights, and the rear window switch lights up (both had blown bulbs). So I figured I'd ask about these other items, in case they light up too, and just need new bulbs.

Thanks!

1) No (some BMWs do)
2) No
3) gawd No
4) Yes

Steering wheel controls (volume) do light up. Those are tiny LEDs, can't really replace them unless you are good with a soldering gun.

Thank you, @CookieRoe .

I'm glad I didn't start taking things apart to look for a bulb to replace!

Strange how the steering wheel controls lights don't work. Anyway, having the control stalks light up would be very cool.

Agreed, but definitely NOT worth the effort to try to do a mod>

I'll leave the steering wheel lights alone too, since it's a led chip soldered to a board. Maybe I'll find a wire broken somewhere or some other explanation... but it's probably not worth the time to pursue it.
