A small victory - glove box with light!

Finally got around to installing the glove box and light. Pretty cool!

Actually the light is actuated by a plunger type switch that's located at the upper left hand corner of the glove box. Very easy to install

Re: A small victory - glove box with light!

I've never seen a switch with built in light. Is it an OEM part? I would like to get one for my project. That is really nice.

Re: A small victory - glove box with light!

Hey Jeff i used a reproduction part sold by Classic Parts . It's very cheap and I believe it is a correct reproduction of the original light. I have the correct accessory fuse box so hooking it up was a breeze. It needs to be connected to a BAT terminal so it has constant power
