glove box bulb trick

Ugh, I'm an idiot. The glove box light won't light unless the headlights are on! I spent so much time changing the bulb and then figured it out!!!

Bwahah!
Thanks for being the test guy for this one. I didn't know that either, in fact this is the first time I've heard of it.

Here's a photo of my miracle invention

I think I may have to go on that inventors program.

I shine the light into the mirror to see the top inside of the glove box so I can then use my invention to insert the new bulb. The green piece is about 3/8 inch long and from a pen cap that has a diameter that can hold the bulb securely. The bulb is a push-in type and it's hard to control the pressure and get enough pressure when your fingers won't fit in so small an area. I may try this invention on my wife's nipples later. Angle of attack should be 88 degrees -- use a protractor and drop a plumb line.

Here's the photo - pat pend trademark

Sorry about the lack-o-nipples. It's too hot here, and my wife is only using her daytime running lights.
