Glove Box Light

Featured Replies

Dead easy question. Is my car supposed to have one?



yes...open the glove box and use your fingers to feel on the top, right side, front corner (as you look at it) small square cut out is where it sits

No sign of any holder or anywhere for a holder to fit. Such a small thing why have they left that out?!

i had my old glovebox out but found nothing so i assume it was cost cutting not sure if the mk1.5 had them if so shouldnt be hard to add them

Dont take this as showing off but this is what your looking for mate see below,

and if your bulb is gone, i recommend purchasing one of the LED clusters also pictured below,

i can supply these if required.

sorry mate mine is a Mk2.5 i saw all the Mk2's in the previous posts and assumed you were looking for one for a Mk2,

my wife has a 06 Nissan Almera middle spec model equivelent to the zetec

and it doesnt have a light in the glove box neither, so it is common in cars.

if you try the scrappy or e-bay you may pick somthing up

when you get it,

you need to fill the white plug with glue and leave it to set for 24 hours,

this will stop the wires from wiggling around in the plug, once this is done it works 100%

like uncle bens ''perfect every time'' ;)

The one i got had what appeared to be clear sillicone in the cap.

The wire actually pulled right out of it's sheath so it parted from the LED board itself.

Just wanted something that's sturdy and works.

I have a mk1 (2003), and it does have a glovebox light... not sure if that helps you much tho!?

I'm not sure if all models use the same wedge bulbs?

Never looked on my old MK1.
