Does anyone know if all express models come with the plug to plug in a upper glove box light I have been looking for one but can't find one behind the glove box any thoughts. Thanks

If you are speaking of the box above the glove box (in some trucks there is no door) my wires were tucked in the hole, I bought the light from ebay, pulled wires out Plugged in and pushed light in hole.

Not sure if this is helpful, hope it is tho.

When you open the door to the glove box, look in the upper left corner for a oval looking circle. That is a cap. It pops out and then you can look inside that hole to see if your connection is there ! Like mentioned you can get the part on E Bay or your dealer,, Also try the Search Box glove box light ! I'll see if I have a You Tube Link

These may help

I did the upper glove box install a couple of weeks ago. I did get the box from All Mopar Parts. I also wanted the light but guess what's wrong with that picture:

More to ship than the light is worth? WTF is up with that. I did find it on ebay

Cost with tax about $12 and shipping was free. It did take a couple of weeks since it comes from China, I guess, but the vendor is reliable and you get updates during the process. I installed it today and it works perfectly. I even replaced the bulb with a red LED I had laying around to give it a different look. I found the connector wire tucked in behind the metal brace on the left when you remove the original tray. You have to feed it over this brace to get the length to plug it into the light in the new glove box tray.

PS. I did figure out that the light must be on a timer. If you leave the glove box door open, after a minute or so the light goes off and won't come on even if you play with the switch. I had the passenger door open throughout this. But if I closed and opened the truck door again or switched the ignition on and off, the light came back on. Security I guess in case you leave the glove box door open and then walk away from the truck. Makes sense.

If you ask me the bottom box is the one that needs a light. Wish I had a light in my lower glove box.
I agree the lower box does need a light !
