This problem may be in another thread but I don’t see it anywhere.
My Honeycomb Alpha Yoke was plug and play and this all works fine but apart from the illuminated honeycomb front panel that has 5 levels of lighting I am unable to get any of the switches to illuminate, are they supposed to as its a bit of a pain if they do not.
I’d rather have illuminated switches (Like those on the Honeycomb Throttle) than the honeycomb front panel lighting which has no real benefit?
Not illuminated

Negative sir, there is no such option as illuminated switches on the honeycomb alpha yoke.
That’s a pity, they should have been installed just as they are on the throttle quadrant.
Such a shame and a missed opportunity.
The A/P buttons on the Bravo are only lit when the underlying mode is ON. The OFF ones are just as difficult to locate in the dark as the Alpha switches.
I suppose what you miss is static back-lighting of the switch labels on the Alpha. I agree, but sadly this is not an option.
Yes, thank you, disappointing really when you consider that both items are well made, I simply fail to see why they did not illuminate the switch panels, ah well, will continue to fumble around in the dark like real pilots do (NOT)
