Do your light settings "light up"?
If you are driving in the dark and you have your headlights on...take a look at the switch. I noticed that my settings are NOT lit up. The "A" and the "O" and the settings that run around the ring above the switch itself. It seems like they SHOULD light up. On the switch itself, there is a "line" that DOES light up...but am I missing something?

If you guys do a search on the W203 forums there are a few threads about that. They haven't lit up (on US models) for years. They do in other countries, and if you pull the circuit board you'll see that they just never soldered the LED lights on. Cheap *******s.

Yeah..that sucks. When it is dark..it would be nice to see the selection choices. When I first had the car, I was driving to work in the dark. I wanted to put the fogs on...and couldn't get it to the right setting. I ended up "flashing" the guy in front of me a few times. He must have thought I was nuts.
C'mon Mercedes!!! This ain't no Ford Focus!
