Hi, Has anyone here swapped out the glove box bulb for an LED? If so how did you get the bulb out? It’s super tight in there and I am finding it difficult to remove. Any tips on how to do it would be appreciated.

I would say needle nose wrapped with electrical tape and gentle pressure. If not, you will need to remove the plastic trim in order to access the bulb better. I installed an LED bulb when I retrofitted my glove box light. In the US, 17-18 models did not get the light.

Here are instructions to remove the plastic trim. Of course yours would be in the opposite orientation.

Thanks for that, I thought I might need to do some disassembly to get to it. I’ve taken it apart before to fit my illumination kits so I will get it done this way no problem.

I was trying to do the same and found this thread when having same issue.

I said no way I’m going to disassemble the glovebox assembly.

I put double sided tape on the pliers. Volla it came off within seconds

I just pinched it out with a Leatherman. It's a T10 W5W wedge type bulb.
