Unlike most controls that you are supposed to push, the Home Link buttons (1,2,3) do not light up at night. As a result, when I try to open my garage, I have to turn the cabin light to actually locate the right button. Question: Are these buttons supposed to light up? If not, how do most people manage this chore?

I can "nail" the correct HomeLink button in my LS without even looking -- it's automatic for me ... probably from years of practice. How do you find the button for the overhead light? Is it lighted at night?

You are right though. It would be nice if every single control was lighted.

I have no problem finding it from the glare of the highlights. But no, it isn't lighted.

Thanks for the responses. Its comforting to know that its not lighted. It does not solve my problem, though. The light button is different color, so its easy to spot, but everything else is dark color, so it is hard to guess. I agree, this is my first one, and its barely 2 weeks old. I will get used to it, just like everybody else. On the positive side - everything else is great. I transitioned from Highlander to RX. So, you can imagine my euphoria. Thanks guys for the reassurance. And please bear my ignorance.

The homelink buttons illuminate green in my Rx400h. Maybe it was upgraded for 08?

I'd try buying an upper console from an Rx400h and installing it in yours. My guess is that the plugs are the same.

There's one on ebay for $65 right now from an 08 Rx400h...

But yeah, they definitely light up in my Rx400h.
