Glovebox light?
I just came back from checking out the c-coupe at my local MB dealer. I specifically wanted to see how the interior lights look in the dark - I've only examined the car in daylight. I was shocked to find that there was apparently no light in the glovebox! I did turn on the headlights, by the way. I hate to nitpick, but this seems like an inexcusable oversight to me - for any car at any price, let alone a Mercedes! Yet they did bother to put a light in the ashtray...

You are supposed to put the grossly overpriced CD changer in there, which takes up much of the room. Therefore MB decided you don't need a light. MB is just taking good care of us.
Edit:
Just for the hell of it, I just checked my Coupe and there is a light in the glovebox. It is in the top right front of the glovebox. Pretty bright, too.

I thought about neon blue....but then I wouldn't be able to tell whether it was pizza, chalupas or fried rice I dropped on the front seat

Should we all have glove box lights? Have one in the C240, but it does not come on all the time....seems to have a mind of its own. Taking my car into routine service next week, so I am going to have this checked out.

In over a year of ownership, i have never noticed whether my glovebox has a light or not. I do know that my ashtray/coinholder has a light cause I can see it through the seam in the wood! I hate that. It might be because I removed the ashtray insert.

Maybe it's a busted bulb? My driver side vanity light doesn't come on, either. The one in the glove box works.
