Don't know, but it might be a good mod. Guess they feel that that "itty bitty" one that shines down from the rear view when ya got your lights on is enough.

I'm afraid to open my glove box, because if I do, everything falls on the floor.

Good question. Maybe they think the map lights on the rearview mirror are enough.

All the new cars I've seen have lights in the rear view, the headliner or both. Not having lights in the console seemed normal to me.

Glovebox what?? If I can't reach it from the driver's seat, who cares!
