fit my light 😳
At issue for me right now is the light. I'm no fan of the OEM light and I'm sure none of you are either. I am inclined to delete the hole and utilize the connector for a different LED light. The problem is what to use for a light. Most of the stuff I would normally use on my own stuff is damn spendy. But stupid Chinese sticky tape LEDs drive me nuts. Need something in between. Thoughts?
So honestly I'm kind of glad my OEM light didn't work with the Wits' End glove box, because it led me to find a much better solution than what was there before. LED light strips. They mount with some super sticky 3M butyl mounting tape (about 2mm thick so hopefully enough to adhere to the texture of the powder coating on my glove box, and I led the wires out and down and soldered them to the OEM connector that the original light used. Little wire wrap and she looks good. I only stuck the wire in place temporarily so I can be sure the strips will stay in place through the summer heat and winter cold, but if they stay put I'll run a thin bead of black polyurethane caulk over the wires to help conceal them a bit better. These are really bright and if you don't have the shelf, only one strip would be absolutely perfect for the glove box.

@Spook50 can you post up a link to the strips you ordered?LED light strips.
I'm out of town right now but when I get back I'll double check. I think I had ordered them from SuperBrightLEDs but can't remember for sure.@Spook50 can you post up a link to the strips you ordered?
Received my glove box the other day. Color me impressed dude, this thing is insane. Can't wait to get it installed.
Hell no! This thing far exceeded my expectations, and I had high expectations to begin with. I opened the box and said "wow". Can't remember the last time that happened![]()
