Glove box light replacement?
I cannot see how to remove the lens on the glove box light. Mine quit working and I want to replace the blub. Any ideas?
Thanks.

More than a blub
Thanks for the quick reply. I removed it with no problem. The bulb and all internal parts are working. It seems to be activiated by the auto dim rearview mirror. I had the windshiled replaced. I wonder if they accidently damaged the wiring or mirror? Do you know of any test procedure for the auto dim mirror other than covering or shining a light on the photo-sensors?
Thanks.
Thanks.

On mine I had to bend the spring on the switch a little bit. because the switch wouldn't move all the way. try pulling on the switch to see if the light comes on.
