Glove Box Light

I mocked up some lighting in the glove box. In my low windshield car, I have it connected to the map light switch.
I used an LED strip sandwiched between the dash and the cardboard of the glove box above the door. The LED strip emits from its edge so light shines into the glove box.

The strips come in several colors if you want to be creative. I just went with white. I'll use a similar approach to add some other lighting at some point.

Sid are you speaking from experience?

That's real nice.
I prefer the "warm white" LED's, they look more natural to me -- but they are harder to find and often more expensive.

I added some additional LED strips under the dash - all are tied into the map light switch.
