Glove Box Light
I have been changing out the old halogen light bulbs on my 2004 convertible and all went well till today. I pulled out the old bulb in the glove compartment and tried to insert the new LED and immediately had problems. It was hard to get in, so I finally gave up and put the old bulb back in. Now, the light doesn't work at all with either bulb. Do you suppose that I broke the connectors, and if so, can I order a new switch from somewhere? I can't find it listed on any website.

I used my wife’s compact mirror to see what was going on in that glovebox. Made changing the bulb simple. Used my iPhone flashlight to see in with the mirror.

Hope you can cancel the switch. Good that but was a simple fix.

Hey guys. I know this has nothing to do with my glove box light but.....my glove box is stuck closed. It seems that the latch works fine however it feels like the ‘hook’ that wraps around the metal grab piece attached to the dash isn’t releasing enough to open the glove box. Has anyone experienced this? And if so, is there something I can do and use to help get the glove box open without damaging the box? Thanks for any help out there.
