Make sure your interior light dimmer switch is turned on (turn right for brighter lights). Its a little *** located directly to the left side of the steering column. Its next to the trunk/gas buttom.

Why would he think they don't light up? First, how the (bleep) would you know what button to press in the dark, and second, everyone else's light up.
