I had three E34's with sunroofs, none of them had lighting incl my M5.. Maybe its a common fault and they all were broken, or it is not supposed, my E38 did have it I'm sure.. E34 switch does in fact look like it should be iluminated

My 94 3.8 model has the illuminated sunroof switch. I would have assumed it would be an LED which shouldn't fail.

Hi Steve

Mine also lights up so I assume it must be the bulb.
