Okay, I did the check and now I am sure that if I put head light to 'auto', the audio/gps/temperature buttons do have back light. The garage open buttons and the three buttons for odometer/mileage/miles kilo conversion won't light up. I previously BELIEVED that these three SHOULD have back light. Guess I set up my expectation too high.

One interesting question is that I can never turn on one set of front lights. I know we have side maker lights and the big head lights. For the lights around head lights, I am wondering what they are? DRL?

Also I know that the two lights at the very bottom on each side are fog lights. However, I can never turn on the two linear lights right above fog lights. Can anybody educate me what they are?

Also pretty disappointed to find that fog light has a yellow hue, not matching other lights. What are they thinking about?

For the instrument brightness control nob, I always set it to the middle. So I guess it is not a concern ever.

What I need to compare is whether it makes any difference whether I set the head light to 'auto' or 'on'. My suspicion is that that 'auto' is not smart enough. When I played in day time today, with, it on 'on', I saw some back light I never saw before. Will report back tonight. Thanks for the help.
