Wiper Stalk supposed to be lighted?
Hi, I have a 2024 GLS 450. Driving last night in the rain, I tried to activate the rear wiper while driving on the freeway in the rain. Couldn't figure out how to do that. Eventually pulled over once off the freeway and found the switch. I noticed that everything but the wiper stalk lights up at night.
Is the wiper stalk supposed to be lighted like all the other switches?

I'm trying to recollect if any wiper stocks are back lit. It would be nice. I also wish the USB port area had some ambient light. I'm not plugging into that area often but just another area that could use some useful lighting at night without having to turn on the overhead lights. I've been in some executive cars as a passenger where they have the female buckle lit up, it's a very nice touch at night.

At least it's not a French car!
My old Peugeot 505 STI had its wipers on a stalk on the right side of the steering column. You'd twist it to operate the wipers and push it in toward the column to honk the horn. Pull to squirt.
