Default New Member and Rocker Switch Panel Back lighting Question

Hey everyone, i bought my 2nd boat earlier this year and so far its been a great boat. Its a 2007 Baja 242 Islander with a 496 MAG. I have a question, at night my rocker switches only light up when activated. I cannot see what they are when not activated. Is this normal? If yes, can i install new switches that have a back light on when so i can see what is what at night when not activated?

Thanks in advance,

Sal

Quick, cheap, ez fix is to just a small led that points towards the switches. Look at you local auto parts store. Rice burners use them to light up there floor mats, lol
