On my 2018 bighorn the windows switches etc light up with the headlights but the mirror switch does not light up. Is that normal? Or should they also be backlit like the window switches?

Thanks. It stinks they didn't backlight it. Surprising that even the Laramie isn't backlit either.

You folks with The limited and laramie have ambient lighting at the door handle, does that illuminate the mirror switch?

It's funny, the other night I was looking at that area because of this thread and thought it was very dimly lit, but it may have been getting a little light from the ambient lighting in the door handle.

Baffling how FCA thought a Jeep or Durango should have a lighted switch and Ram owners are left in the dark.. My Jeep overland is illuminated so I went ahead and purchases a switch, plug and play.

If there is, let me know and I will add it to the 13-18 power fold mirror upgrade thread

Thanks for this info, I replaced my switch with 68319803AA too, worked great and was extremely simple to install. Nice to have a fully illuminated switch assembly.
