x17 R2, how do I get symbols on my keyboard to light up?

Everything is lit on my keyboard laptop (Alienware x17 R2) except for the symbols and small photos on my function keys. How do I get those lit up too to see them?

Thank you!

x17 R2 owner here. You can't.

The keycap isn't design that way, no light can shine through, hardware limitation.

I do not know "C"17 R2. Did you mean the 2015 17 R2? Go HERE. From the list, which Alienware model do you have there? Or enter the private Service Tag number HERE to see the model.

@DELL-ChrisM2​ I'm sorry for the typo.  It is Alienware X17 R2. Thanks.
