^ Get some load resistors and wire them into the harness behind the bulbs...

yep. follow same procedure as changing in cabin air filter. When you pull out the glove box, you'll see the bulb there on top - just twist and it comes out. I did both at the same time while I was in there. Make sure you test it, because those LED lights only work 1 way, even though a regular bulb works both ways before you put it all together.

FYI my battery died the other day, and when I replaced it, I had to take the trim off around the battery area to get it out. There is a big hole where the air comes in for the in cabin filter, and you can easily check to see how dirty yours is without having to take the glove box out, much easier IMO if you aren't sure how bad yours is (Useful if you just bought a used car and are unsure how long its really been since replacement).

Tried installing the glove box LED, but it didn't light up. I flipped sides, and still nothing. Now what? What could be the problem?

What size is the bulb for the glove box for a 2007 35x? I checked the Sylvania site and there's no mention for the Glove box. That's only one I have to change left.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Sean

thanks ordered one of those. The shipping is so much cheaper there, and I'm not in a big hurry to get it (since it's shipping from hong kong).

mine didn't light up until after I put the glove box back in. I think there is a sensor in there, or it sems the glove box only lights up under certain conditions? I don't think it comes on when the car is off for example - I thought mine was broken too then I noticed it was working a day later.

I thought of that as well. But the only thing is that if you put the LED in the wrong way, you would have to disassemble the glove compartment just to take the LED out and assemble it to test it. Seems like a lot of work. Does anyone know how or when our glove box should light up?
