And me too cause I am a bit on OCD side too.

Edit add - I made the switch swap. EZ. And of course the rear fog lights come on and the emblem in dash lights up. However, I had counted on the electronics board being the same as the Euro version. But it is not. The US version does not come with the tiny LED back lighting!! I figured that it did. That said I just used the electronics board from the Euro switch even though it has the leveling function and I have Xenon lights.

Got the second switch and it was the correct switch (front/rear/ fog, rain sensor, xenon) sans the chrome knob. I swapped it and viola correct button and backlighting.
Where can I buy one of the backlit switches? All I've found listed were new and priced above $60.
