Hey all,

This may be covered in another thread, but I had a hell of a time swapping out my bulb for the upper Glove box to an LED, so I thought I'd make a quick post to show how to just take it out, which I had to do.

Quick fyi, if you drop some bulbs like I did, you may be able to recover them by popping off the panel near the passengers left foot as shown below.

First, remove the lower glove box by pushing the sides in while open to clear the rubber stoppers on each side. Once cleared, pull out to remove.

Next, there is one 7mm bolt for the upper Glove box. Once removed, push the upper Glove box from the back to pop the clips holding it in. From there, you can swap your bulb. Note the base orientation is up and down if you try replacing without removal of the upper box. I used needle nose pliers and still couldn't get it in w/o removal.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the write up, what brand and size of LED did you use?
