What instrument lights exist on center console? 200 1993

I'm trying to figure out what lighting should exist on the center console of my 1993 240. I have some pretty dim lights on the center console down where the temp slider and fan controller are located and I have lights on the hazard button and when I press the mirror defroster. The hazard button looks pretty new and that light is bright. Is there any sort of lighting that should be on in that middle section where the hazard/defrost/ac buttons are located (outside of when you press the buttons which turns on the light) - some kind of lighting that would possibly illuminate that whole area? I can't even see where the buttons are when it is dark. I have no lights go on when the AC is pressed or when the rear defrost is pressed - so I suspect those need some new little bulbs.

Also, would new bulbs brighten up that lower area where the temp slider and fan controller are located? That is pretty dark - reminds me of a "glow-in-the-dark" toy that has not been charged by a light source long enough.

I've never seen a nicely restored 240, so I don't know what it should look like.

Also, the dash is pretty dim, might new bulbs brighten that up? I know those bulbs are different than the small 1.2w wedge type of bulbs in the center console area.

Thanks!
Rob
