the switch?
located on the right hand side of the glow box, just below that black plastic arm that stops travel - small black kinda rectangular button. have to take the glove box interior out (after removing about 17 screws) to get to the switch. |

damn screw crazy designers, and it still doesn't close easily lol.
so there is a switch, and it's not supposed to be on the whole time right?

mine only comes on when the the glove box is open AND the headlights are on, so I guess my answer is "correct".

gaps around the seal of the glovebox cast light on the passenger floor when the box is closed, it'd be like cutting a hole in your fridge and then closing the door.
the button still works, so i'm going to probably just do something to make the button actually push in

I wanted to do the same in my glovebox, but hadn't yet worked out how to climb inside of it without disconnecting my own head.

The switch works but does not make contact. I think that sounds familar. The screws that hold the hing need adjustment.
