Just installed glove compartment light!

zleepy · 03-08-2010, 11:20 AM

Just installed the glove compartment light. I am pretty happy with the outcome. Sorry for the crappy pic. I took it with my iphone at night.

Oh forgot to mention the total cost was about 20 dollar.
normally closed switch - 2 for $13 on ebay (just need one)
12 smd light - $ 3.99 on ebay. (got it awhile back)
add a circuit - about 5 dollar
24 gauge wire - about 6.99 a roll
