jonny-5 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Bit of a random question i know, but there's no bulb in there at the moment and the handbook wasn't much help. Can anyone just check what wattage theirs is? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Forinor 0 Posted September 21, 2005 I don't think my glove box light has ever lit up either, I just thought that it didn't have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonny-5 0 Posted September 21, 2005 That's what i thought until i had a look the other day. Apparently it will only work when the ignition is on and the switch is in the on position Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Hmmmm, mine has gone off, i will look to see if there's a switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted September 21, 2005 was thinking that,,but it may melt and cause fire lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Hmmm might be a prob. how long do you leave your glovebox open for? Regardless, fire is not good so forget that idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
