Ignition switch illumination
 
Ignition switch illumination


When the 2003 vehicles came out, there was this cool feature (we didn't think of it as a feature any more than the buttons on your steering wheel being lit was a feature) where when the lights came on in the vehicle, so did the 4 words on the ignition switch.  It was a nice touch, and helped guide where the key was supposed to go.

 

 If you didn't have it, you'd probably never know it was missing.  It is rumored to have changed due to a different supplier.  The new non-lit one is considerably cheaper.

 

I do not know if there are other differences in the module other than the lighted words.
