Is Chim Hazard Light button backlit?

As the title

I've got a 98 Chim with the chrome pack and when the A3 suddenly stopped last night I realised the Hazard Warning Light button and the Fog Light button aren't backlit.

I've searched for pics of the dashboard at night but people don't seem to photograph that.

I don't think that they are backlit. I modified mine so that they are green backlit. Go Red when switched on.

Ah, glad to see the TVR being a reliable back up vehicle for an Audi A3.

On mine the fog light was deffo illuminated if the fog light was switched on. Can't say for the hazards.

Thanks for the responses, it sounds like they only light up when in use then which isn't helpful but is typical TVR!

It wasn't backup for an Audi, I was on the A3 road and came round a corner to find stationary traffic. A coach had neatly removed the quarter panel from a Jag!

Was impressed, only sat there for 15-20 minutes until they reopened the road.

I guessed. Just spoofing

Just checked mine, 2000, hazard switch definitely not backlit.

But the fog light is when on. Headlights need to be on too (but not on beam)

The fog light doesn't look like it comes on with just the ignition and lights...either that or it's broken If I get it out tomorrow I'll check!

The only time that fog light has been on is when I've cleaned the dashboard & accidentally pressed the button.

Not illuminated at this coffee time

Now I see that photo it reminds me the hazard switch flashed when the hazards were on.

Is it true you’ve only charged that phone 8 times since you bought it?

Once in 2008, but seldom since

This requires more detail!

About to remove my dash top to fit blue LED bulbs to the dials, this seems like a good time to do something with the foglight and hazard buttons too.

As it goes, my Chimaera gives fewer problems than my A7. Famous last words..
