Fitting Light to Upper Glove Box

I have no idea but has anyone done anything about the lack of light in the upper glove box? Shocked

Yeah, I know there is one in the lower glove box but why didn't Land Rover put one in the upper one Big Cry

Has any one fitted one?

If so can you send info, although I doubt that it's that difficult so I might just have a go myself. Thumbs Up Stadt Panzer Power

I would be interested in knowing how you get on with this one Thumbs Up

I would think it would be relatively easy to run a wire from the lower light, and fit a 2nd one Mr. Green Never get mad - get even !!

This is a really simple mode and easy for anyone to carry out. Hell I did it so anyone can. Thumbs Up

The donor light came from a P 207 and was perfect for the job but I am sure any light can be made to fit.



Just pull the above off. Very Happy

Two push clips each side, pull the left hand side first and then pull the front trim to the right whilst pulling on the right side.

Room for the light has been made. I used this light as the plunger is built into it.

The small ridge need to be filled down along the edges you have made in the roof of the glove box. This insures for a better fit.

I drilled the hole for the plunger at this stage because not only do you need one in the glove box but also in the surround. Thumbs Up

Light wired in and working. Happy days. Very Happy Stadt Panzer Power
