Should the gear selector be lit when driving at night with lights on? Had the car nearly 7 years now but it has never lit up although I presume it should to see what you are selecting in the dark. See pics.(Tiptronic by the way).
There may be an orientation light in the interior light housing? If there is an aperture in it it is also selectable for brightness - you can switch between dim/less dim with a light press in with a pin
