Realized I don't have one. Someone want to save me the trouble of pulling my cluster apart to see?

Flip your turn single lever to the other position and see if the bright indicator lights. That would mean they are on. Not the flash to pass quick pull towards the wheel movement.Realized I don't have one. Someone want to save me the trouble of pulling my cluster apart to see?
The Escalade headlight switch has an amber LED beside the Auto position that lights when the headlights are on. I don't think GM ever put that on the Chevy or GMC models (maybe Denali's??). However, it is not difficult to add. There is a pin on the headlight switch connector that has the signal from the BCM to turn on the LED. When I had my switch apart a few years ago to replace a burned out bulb, I noticed this and added the LED and backlights for the right side of the switch where the instrument lamp dimmer is. After you add the LED you have to open a small circle in the paint to let it shine through. I used a circle template the same size as the amber indicator for the fog lights and a needle to scrape away the paint. Looks like it came from the factory.Realized I don't have one.

How about a nighttime pic of said mod?The Escalade headlight switch has an amber LED beside the Auto position that lights when the headlights are on.

Or, you could just buy a used Escalade switch.
