Default Glove box light (or lack thereof)

Seems this is the only forum where one can't bring up an old post related to the exact same thing, so now one must have multiple multiple posts on the same topic....

Okay, so...

I notice in the glovebox, there's this hole area on the top right. COuld that have been where GM MAY have intended to put a glove box light and I wonder if that would be a good place to put a switch in there for one???




Maybe something like:


ebay light

My '08 Alpha purchased new did not have a glove box or console storage compartment light so I added. See thread below.

I don't know what the unused hole could have been used for. My 2010 doesn't use it. It looks like a good place for a switch.

@Broken Halo I have a dome light by the sunroof switch already. You're 2008 didn't have one? I can't believe it would be an option, especially since my base Base has it.

They didn't start putting a dome light in that position until 2009.

I don't need light in my glovebox, however I installed
8" LED motion sensor lights 8" LED motion sensor lights
in my 2'x2'x8' pantry, that lights up each shelf+++ and only turn on when I open the door and shutoff within seconds after I close the door(no motion detected). Thin low profile bright light, with a strong magnetic light case that includes strong adhesive stick on metal plates. USB 5v to recharge.

No glove box or center console light in any H3's that I'm aware of. I believe that the overhead light at the sunroof switch showed up on the 2009/10 only. My 2008 Alpha didn't have one, so I added one (from eBay).
