Default Fog light button

Ever since I purchased my car ive always hated the fact that the Fog light symbol never lights up. I was wondering is it suppose to light up like the ASR letters do? The orange lights beside them work but the foglight symbol just doesnt light up is there a bulb in the burnt out or is it painted?

How should I go abouts fixing it if there is a light in it?

The symbol is just printed on the button. The little orange light is all that lights up

Well, I was wrong. After saying that I went outside and sure enough the symbol lights up whether the fog lights are on or off. The orange light is lit when the fogs are on. That whole "frame" just pulls out. Should be an easy fix. Sorry

Unless you know what you're doing replace the bulb inside the fog switch, it's not that hard...
Or just replace the fog switch itself, their like $10.

I think the switches are about $20 at gmpartsdirect and you know they're gonna charge 20 for shipping. Replacing the bulbs isn't hard at all. I had a spare junk CD player laying around that i used to take the bulbs out of and replaced the ones in my switches. Its just a little 12v bulb that has a blue rubber cover that goes over it kind of like a condom.
