Does power lock/window buttons light up at night?

[plu]

Interested in getting a 10th gen Corolla. Does any trim of the Corolla have light up power locks/windows? That's what stopping me from getting one of these cars. Seems like NONE of Toyota cars have light up buttons for mirror/power windows/power locks. Very annoying and dangerous to try to find buttons at night on Toyotas!

To answer your question: NO. But if thats really whats stopping you from buying a car then you probably need to rearrange your priorities. It's seriously not hard to operate the buttons at night. The window buttons go up and down and are arranged so that their location on the armrest corresponds to their relative location on the car. You pull up on the button, the window goes up; push down and window goes down. As for the door lock, it only moves in a left and right motion. After you use it a couple times it'll become habit.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Who doesn't use the remote to lock the doors when you get out? As for when you are in the car can't you set it to automatically lock when you put it in gear?

the only thing i hate about the power mirror buttons is there location, too far to use them without moving from the seat

and about lights in the power doorlocks , get a volks, and pray those options wont broke, because when they gonna your gonna cry at your wallet(plus the price of the car)

I thought the only thing that lights up as far as window switches go is just the DRIVER window button [has AUTO on it]

Yeah you can set the car to lock when you put it in gear. And to get out (when the doors are locked) all you have to do is pull on the door handle, no need to press the unlock button.

Timbits is correct about the driver's side button lighting up.

^ What he said is correct, although the power mirror buttons are in a stupid location.

My driver's window button does say "AUTO" on it, but it doesn't light up I don't think. If it does, it's too dim to tell. o.0

ON my 94, the AUTO is the only thing that lights up on any of the switches. It only comes on when the key it turned... and it is very dim.

The Corolla has a left and right maplights overhead which put out plenty of light if you need to find something in the car at night. They are easy to locate by touch at night.

Lights on the door buttons will really be a deciding choice in what car you buy if you are looking for something in the price range of a Corolla? I find that very crazy.

It is pure habit for me and very distinct in the way they feel.

If its that big of a deal just double side tape these to the door panel:

Seems like a silly worry to me.

The buttons for the windows are all arranged well & can be found by touch only as they as designed so you don't have to take your eyes off of the road. The door lock button is the same way. Some have mentioned the side view mirrors but I adjusted them once when I got the car & haven't touched them since! They aren't that hard to get to as you don't use them like the windows & locks.
