Plenty of time in these dark mornings/evenings to consider the internal illumination of the car controls. Most are nicely and gently backlit, including the column mounted gear lever. But the wiper control does not illuminate and nor does the bezel around the light control. It's the latter that's a minor pain - you stop on a dark road and need to turn the switch to activate parking lights, for example, but can't readily see where the mark is on the bezel. From memory I think it was the same on my old S211 - are all Mercs the same? And why - seems an odd target for a cost saving given how much other internal switch lighting there is, and the switch itself is illuminated?
