Are you, like me, annoyed that Dodge didn't install a glove box light in our Challengers? Well, for $8 and 30 minutes of your time, you can correct this oversight. Just follow these steps: How to install Glove Box light: Parts & Tools Needed: Glove Box Switch # 04565022 Drill 3/16 and ¾ drill bits Flash Light if not done outside File or attachment for drill to file down opening. Cost: Under $8. Installation Time: 30 minutes Here are the steps to follow: 1. Remove all contents of glove box. 2. Remove glove box. Note: This is not a simple unhook it and drop it. a. Remove clip on side first. This clip is on a retractable string so do not let it snap up. b. There are two tabs on each side of the glove box. Push both in at the same time and lower glove box. c. The glove box will need to be manipulated somewhat to be completely removed. 3. Before you do anything else, reach up behind the opening of the glove box area on the top left hand side and make sure you feel the wiring harness. Searching with your hand and you should feel the wire adapter hanging down. This is the male end that you will plug your glove box light onto. Tug on it slightly and it will break free of the harness and drop down. 4. Use template and tape to area of installation. 5. Use razor blade to remove over skin. 6. Once other skin is removed you will see black plastic. This is where you will drill some holes. a. Use your 3/16 drill bit and drill four holes. One in each corner. Do this so you will not have to worry about getting a file in a narrow area. b. Now use your ¾ drill bit and drill a hole in the center of your four drill marks. Again, this is to lessen the amount of filing/grinding you will need to do to make a rectangular cut-out to pull the adapter through. 7. Take your file or grinder and clean out the rest of the area. 8. Bring wire harness adapter through your freshly drilled hole. 9. Plug in you glove box part. Note: if it does not work, reset the interior light by closing and opening your car door. The glove box light only stays on as long as your interior lights are on. 10. Snap glove box light into the hole. 11. Install glove box in reverse order of taking it off. Step 2. C, B, and then A 12. Clean up your mess, put items back in glove box, and you are done!
