How do you change the glovebox light, that is without attacking it with a shovel or crowbar?
And I put up a picture and explanation of squeezing the tabs to remove the whole switch.
Obviously that was BEFORE I tried to get the damned thing back into place.
So ... after the switch laying around for weeks, I went out and bought some LEDs, one of which would end up in the glovebox light.
When I did the puddle lights, I cut strips from beer cans ... and remember you can't use old ones, you HAVE to drink the contents of a new one so you can use the shiny metal ... and glued it to the dark plastic above the light so it reflected more light in the direction I wanted. So I fashioned a similar attachment for the switch ...
... and spent a futile 30 mins trying to get it back into place.
However ... before I ripped it off and gave up (time enough for the car to go to sleep so I thought I'd blown the fuse ... and does anyone know which fuse it is ?? ), decided that actually the spill of light was a positive as it lit up the area behind the glove box if I needed to change fuses.
So here's the result.

I'd also hedged my bets and bought some very compact LEDs, but as I managed to get the monster one
in the glovebox light, I used these to replace the ones I'd had in the number plate lights, which I'd not been pleased with as they pressed hard against the plastic lens.
