3rd Generation ECT Button illumination

Just want to see if anyone here knows if there's a illumination light for the ECT button on the Camry, reason I ask is on my 94' 2.2L Camry LE it doesn't seem to light up when I turn on corner/tail lights (which lights up the dashboard and the gear lights at the shifter panel, and yet I seem to recall that ECT button has illumination light, can someone please confirm for me whether it does or doesn't?

Thanks a bunch.

yes, it does. its a little teeny bulb. best bet is to get it from the junk yard out of another switch.

Thanks guys, I have managed to take off the plastic panel around the shifter, and took off the ECT swtich, there is a switch illumination bulb indeed, but here is the problem, I have gone to Toyota dealer to see if I can order a new bulb for it, the guy special orders a bulb for me, but it is not the same type of bulb, the "seat" for the bulb is wrong and will not fit into the casing and when I went back to Toyota with the burnt out bulb and VIN number of my Camry, the guy at parts department showed me that on the design schematic (which is displayed on the computer monitor), it does not show that there's a bulb in there and therefore have no part number to order with, and he can not find the same bulb in their stock too.

I have also visited the scavage yard shops asking for the whole ECT part (I figured they won't just let me take the bulb out of their junked camrys), all of them tells me they don't have it.

Where can I order one or find one from? I really want to fix the illumiation of the ECT button, please help.
