Default Console box light 84

I finally got around to unhooking the screwed up wiring to the radio and now have my courtesy light fuse back in. During this, I had the console box (glovebox?) lid off. The light in the lid is working great. But now that the lid is back installed, how do I know the light is off? I mean, it is like a refrigerator; with the door closed, you can't see if the light is on.

Mine turns off, around half way closed.
Put your cell phone in video mode and lock it inside, then view the video.

DUH! Why didn't I think of that? Mine doesn't shut off as long as I can see it. I will run a vid as soon as I get back home and see if it goes out or not.
Thanks for the idea!

Well I went out after dark (WAAAAY after dark: 1:00 AM) and tried the glovebox again. You could clearly see that the light goes off before the lid closes. I guess i will havta just try the video idea on the refrigerator!
