Odd lighting question

Hey guys, how do your headlight indicator knobs light up at night? I couldve sworn that the selector line lit up as well as all of the options including the word AUTO and the symbols that you can choose from but today I got in my car at night and the possibly selections around the selector dial were no longer lit up. The only thing that is lit up it the selection knob itself.

Is this normal and I am confused or do I have to get that whole selector switch replaced?

No they do not light up. Only the fog light icons illuminate.

Ok, I guess they lit up in the loaner and I got used to it. Also my last car they lit up and they are placed like they should. Odd design but I dont mind. Thanks!

I wished they did. This is the first car I have ever owned that had indicator icons that didn't light up.
