    Haven't driven my Prius for 3 weeks because the headlights needed replacing and I had a leaky tire. Just got it back and I'm sure the dashboard had more things lit up before. But my memory sucks so maybe I'm wrong. It seems like the park button, power button and gear shift should be lit so one can easily find then in the dark. The steering wheel also seems very dim. I checked the 'panel' fuse, which is fine. None of the other fusses seemed to apply to this area. IMG_20200227_193554220_BURST000_COVER.jpg

    I bought a 2008 a year-and-a-half ago or so, and ended up changing the light bulbs in the power button, park button, and gear shift. Sounds like roughly the right age for them to burn out (depending on how bright the dash dimmer has usually been kept).

    Thanks for the input. Did you have to take it to a shop or were you able to do it yourself?
