Homelink mirror

[rhalama]

I replaced the standard windshield mirror with an mirror that has homelink. Unfortunately the 3 buttons are not backlit and putting on the map lights does not illuminate the buttons enough to see them. Anyone have any ideas how i can see the buttons when its dark outside (and inside)?

-Press a small clear plastic bump on the button you want to use most often. You can buy a package of various sized cabinet bumpers from Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart.
I'd put it on the middle one, then you can feel it and move left or right depending upon which one you want to open.

Thanks. I tried putting scotch tape over the buttons and painted a spot over the middle button with fluorencent paint, but unfortunately the paint needs sunlight to energize the light and the mirror is always in the dark, in the garage, so that did not work. I did not want to paint right on the button, so hence the tape. If it worked, I might have painted the button directly.
