Memory switch illumination

Does the 1, 2 and 3 light up? The only thing that lights up is the memory button when your press it to store a seating position.

I just cracked open an old switch and I see the bulb that lights up the 1 2 and 3 is an ordinary bulb, vs the Memory button has an LED.

yes, right. If you want you can also install an LED. I installed a bit brighter bulb than original, original is quite dim.
If you like LED

I do not know how the correct word is for these 'milky' caps for the LEDs and where to get in USA.

can the E38/9 memory switch be fitted to the E32/4 ?

E38/9 have a BUS system, have never heard that someone has done or tried it, not on U.S. boards and not on German bforums and not here in Japan.

How many wires come out the E38/9 switch?
