Yes, press the map light button for the appropriate side map light.
I'm guessing you've done that though so you either have a bad switch or control module/mmodule setting.

If you or someone replaced stock incandescent bulbs with LED's, that can be your issue.

If you are talking about the two tiny (4 or 5mm holes) in the bottom of the mirror body, those are n9t map lights. Those are general illumination lights for the shift lever and console. Not switchable as far as I know unless the background light button by the mirror stalk changes their status.
