Question about power door lock buttons

Are the power door lock buttons supposed to light up with the headlights on? This is the first time I've got power door locks on a Firebird and neither one lights up yet is really difficult to find at night. I haven't gotten a chance to take the door apart or take the switches out to check yet (like I'm looking forward to it)

No. They are not illuminated.

Get crafty. Get a mini bulb and put it in the top of the arm rest pointing at them. You could probably use a couple of those gizmos that chevy uses to illuminate the ash tray on the camaros.
