Jaguar XK8/XKR gearlever surround lighting Question
Hi
I'm just wondering if there should be any lighting around the gear lever. The only light I have coming on is a red light which shows what gear you're in such as driver etc. but I was wondering if all the other letters should also light up maybe in green etc.
Also the Cruise control and sports mode buttons don't light up. Only show a red light when pressed but in the dark it's hard to remember which one's which.
Finally there's no lighting on the steering wheel for the audio and cruise control buttons.
I'd just like to know if this is all normal or have I got bulbs that have gone out.

The "J Gate" should be backlit. However, it's not a straightforward "plug 'n play" job - new bulbs must be soldered to the board. Not difficult, but a bit fiddly.

Can't remember - that link I posted might recommend a RadioShack bulb which are difficult to track down in the UK. However, these are readily available :
| Lead Pins Filament Indicator Lamp, Clear, 12 V, 60 mA, 10000h |

It's unbelievable everyone has the same bulbs out. I now have the bulb out on my heater auto button and my hazard button doesn't light up. It does when I press it but again no night time illumination.
I know some of the switches are expensive but just wondering if anyone's took one apart to see if the bulb can be changed.
