(Ex-)illuminated buttons

On my centre console, two of the four air flow buttons no longer light up and there's nothing in the maintenance book about replacing bulbs. Does this involve taking out all or part of the centre console?

And while I'm on the subject, I have buttons on the steering wheel for cruise control, volume control, etc and these have never lit up as far as I can remember. Are they supposed to? I guess once a driver is used to his/her car then it's not essential but it feels like a bit of an ergonomic design oversight so I thought I may as well ask!

Thanks in advance,

Nigel

the lights behind the switches in the dash will be a simple bulb, you will have to take off the gear selector surround by prying it up of the ski-slope , then remove screws for the ski-slope and lift up at the arm rest end and ' un-hook ' from over the top of the switches, then you will see the switch fixing screws

as for the steering wheel , they were never illuminated, and you cant add it either
