My 2018 has the text in the dash back lit so you can read it at night.
There are two areas of the dash with this lighting. This past weekend I noticed the one side is not working. I looked into the access panel and there appears to be a light that looks like a wire taped to the dash panel behind the text using a dark foil like tape. The light is 4" long maybe, and from what I can see, looks like the diameter of a 14 gauge wire and is bendable as they outlined the dash panel where the text is.
Anyone know what this light (bulb) is? Need some direction so I can understand what it is to see how to troubleshoot. It is cramped access so I do not want to go rip the tape and light filament out. I want to try to do it myself as the dealer is not readily accessible and it is a minor issue.
