[W126 Coupe] Gear Selection Labels: Do they light up?

[Mister McGoo]

Dick;
 
Yes, the last bulb I replaced was this spring on a '85 380SE.  It was behind the climate control.  I changed the bulbs having removed the climate control for repair.  Looks to me that the pre-'86 models had a 59¢ bulb that took $75 in labour to replace.  Never have experienced the post '86 but it sounds much better!  Thanks.
