2017 GLE Window Switch Lighting Color

Hi everyone, long time no see! :-)

I currently own a 2017 Tesla Model X, which uses window switches for driver and passenger door sourced from MB. Looking around, it looks like the switch is the same that's on the 2017 GLE. The switches light up yellow at night. Does the switch on the GLE light up yellow also? The rest of the switches on the Model X light up white and I'd like to replace these two if I can find the comparable part for a Benz. Below is what the switch on the Tesla looks like.

Best always,

Best always,
I've got a 2016 GLE and mine lights up in an amber colour. I'm not sure if that is what you mean by yellow.

My switches also light up amber, but no I don't believe you're able to change the colors on them.
