Sorry, no they do not. Here is a link to an alternative for the lock and windows switches:

Lighted window switches - Ford Ranger Forum

The headlight switch can be modded to illuminate, but I don't have a link to that. Hope this helps! :)

EDIT: I should be more precise on the headlight switch. The **** itself doesn't light up, but the icons in the actual dash panel do. It is a special bulb that you can retro fit an LED into. Most of the OEM bulbs are burned out long ago.

Any idea what the part number is for the bulb or an LED substitute? I just realized this afternoon that mine was burned out

My son rigged mine up for me. The bulb and holder (for want of a better term) is about an inch and a half long. I goes in the back of the headlight switch. My son soldered in an LED and (I THINK) a resistor. There is a guy on these forums called BuggMan. He makes stuff like that and people buy it from him. You might contact him and see if he has one available. Here is a link about the bulb and such. BuggMan is involved in this thread. Bulb behind Headlight switch is out - Ford Ranger Forum
