Just wondered and the steering wheel is very dark at night and surprised as the Cruise controls in particular are difficult to distinguish.
 
Mine are dark, no illumination at all. I ***ume a bulb or fuse has gone. Anyone know where i should start looking?
 
So after a LOT of forum searching it does appear they should be illuminated and the culprit is likely to be a connector loose in the back of the sound system.

This makes sense as the previous owner fitted an AUX USB interface, and it's a bad one! I'm now dithering about a Grom vs Xcarlink but when i do fit one of these I'll check all the plugs are seated properly, and get my upper display re-soldered.!
 
Pre 2005 cars are not illuminated.
 
Check the seatbelts, there is a label sewn on the bottom that gives date of production. Petrol cars spark plug leads if original usually have a date on them as well.
 
:( 10th Char in VIN is a 4 = 2004 build. That's annoying, the controls look like they are designed for back lighting too.

Thanks all for info
