1990 xj dash lights

Does anyone know if the ac/heat controls are supposed to light up with the other dash lights on this model? When it is dark at night, you can not see the control panel because it is not illuminated...I had this apart about 8 mos ago for a different problem and did not remember seeing any replacable bulbs etc. in this area...Also, the power trans switch, rear window wiper button and ciggarette lighter does not illuminate...Not sure if its related but was gonna tear into some of this this weekend....On the other hand, if these do not light up, there is no sense in messing with it....Thanks for any response all

They are supposed to light up. The ac/heat control bulbs plug in to the back-right side if your looking at it from the seat(i need to replace mine as well). The switch bulbs (i believe) plug in above the switches behind the panel the hold the switch. I'm not sure on the lighter.
