I have been wondering for a while now should the AC unit be illuminated at night ie the LCD display - everything works and the Auto lights up red but can’t really see the unit at night?

Also, the central air vents control wheel (3 of them) - would it be a easy fix to trace why one of them isn’t illuminated like the other 2 are ie a bulb somewhere?

Picture attached of AC unit and the vent control 3 wheels for clarification hopefully.

The two thin slots either side take a removal key and the bulb is located on top. It’s a small dash bulb that sits in its own holder.
