Hello all,

I have a Ford fiesta 1.4 LX and dont have a light in the glove box, should there be one or is there not one?

If not how easy would it be to get one fitted?

    I don't have one in mine either but would assume certain moedls "may" have one fitted.

    Fitting one yourself should be an easyish job taking a feed off a livewire and splicing in an inline on/off trigger switch so the light switches off when you close the glovebox.

    You will find that the glove box has a hole for the lamp switch holder. You just need to get the holder/Switch from the scrap yard and plug it. Then wire it into the fuse box appropriately. It's one of my tasks to do when I get the time!

    I'll bring mine round when you do yours and you can do mine at the same time :lol:
