Yes.

It's not that bad, you just have to pull the glove box out. Iirc you take off that lower panel under it, and there's like 3 screws then you pull the glove box.

I'm gonna do this someday. As well as put one in the glovebox like Nocture did.
I just unscrew the four screws in the glovebox and yank it out with a bit of force. The first time you do it, you may struggle .. A lot..

It is REALLY bright. I think I'll cover some of the "smt" lights with some tape or something. Just wanted to try it out. After putting it in, I'm not taking it out. lol

I would go for a small led panel if you're going to do something like that.

I don't know about every area but I know in my town, the auto parts stores are starting to stock more and more LED's for different purposes. I got Super Bright White LED's for my map lights for about $5/bulb and all I did was remove the maplight assembly and replace the bulbs and Done. Just FYI. But dope never the less. I am a fan of bright too I hate searching for something in a dark *** car...

I guess this thread isn't all about the dome mod anymore

Got my two 12" strips today. Footwell results to come shortly.

I never knew the glove box was a festoon bulb
