ya it lights up.
there is a bulb behind the bezel. you have to take the bezel off and take the switch out of the bezel. then u should see the bulb.

I can't remember if mine does or not either...

Although I know when I'm in 4x4, a light shows up on the dash, that's all that matters to me really.

You'll have to replace the switch (bulb not sold seperately), unless you want to convert to LED.

You have to turn on your parking or headlights and the switch light goes on when you turn on the lights.
