Help, is this suppose to have a backlight?

[MDC9966]

On my 2007 tahoe, the dome light off switch circled in red doesn't have a backlight image when the dash lights are on. The fog light image circled in red does have a backlight and can be seen in the dark when the dash light are on. Is that right or do I have a switch with a burned out light?

thanks for the help.

Yeah it's burnt

Thanks!, wonder if I can buy just that part or do I have to replace the whole headlight switch?

You can put a new bulb in its not hard. Just pop open and solder the new one in and hell do an led mod while at it

I know you can do it but I would assume it would be very hard same reason people haven't done blue interior lighting its hard so I think a new switch but hey you could always experiment

It's to cancel the dome lights from coming on with the doors

Anybody know how difficult it is to change this out? Any instructions are appreciated.

takes 3 seconds, just pull it straight out. I kinda take 2 fingers and put them in the pocket and push down and out.

I see this is an old thread but did not find another one similar. My 07 Yukon seems to have similar issue...no backlighting on the headlamp/dome switch OR the transfer case selector. Bulb burned? But seems like the bulb is an integral part of the switch. Practically seems if I want the backlighting I need to replace the switches...correct? Other dash/instrument lights work as expected. The switches aren't too expensive...around $30 for each give or take. Curious if I am missing something. Appreciate any info...Mark

you are correct, I ended up replacing the switch to get the backlight.
