Glovebox Light Leon Mk II....Anyone fitted one

[Bedlam]

oddly enough, none of the Leon Mk2's have a courtesy light in the glovebox, which is a real pain and not in keeping with the price of the car there is bound to be something which will fit, maybe Golf/A4 etc? Anyone help out here

Moved the above from original thread as topic changed

Anyone Help?

Funnily enough someone mentioned to me how dark the glovebox was and its true! Need a light for it asap too.

Will see what this thread produces

I have bought a pack of 4 LED "Prism" Micro LEDS from Halfrauds in red (can get white, pink or blue too) for £5.

These need only a 6MM hole and include a snaplock holder, have not fired one up yet to see how bright/intense/hot one is, am considering one pointing down to the darkness of the storage behind the gear lever too.

What armrest have you got and how much, I need one too

i was about to add the same bedlam i got those led ones where you press it and it lights up osram too ! lol

Fired up the laser red led from Cig Lighter and tried under radio storage, more like a spotlight than a spread of light and not tooooooo bright, in fact pretty much like an SAS assassin laser!
Can't make my mind up yet on whether suitable or whether two might work.

Which "ones" are they Dave and where from?

vw passat light housing

you have to install small button, when is pressed it is of and on when release (open box)

I can't write tutorial.. my friend did it.. but basicly.. you need to pull wire from cigarete lighter, add a small button switch and connect to passat light.. there is a place where that light was suposed to be.. I saw the other day one new leon that has light in glowbox by default..

Could you not just fit the one from the Cupra?
Mine has one?!

 

[stuartsjg]

is there any point putting a light in the glovebox given that you can baerly fit anything in it thats usefull?

I manly use the little under passenger seat store. Ive got in there:

- Satnav + cradle when not in use
- Can of irn-bru for emergancies
- small 12v fan heater
- vagcom cable
- hand/face freshening wipes

As for the glovebox, i can hardly fit in a 3.5mm mp3-aux cable allong side the user manuals!

Can you not just turn on the main cabin light if you need to see whats in there?!

 

[thestonegate]

I've asked Seremotors for some part numbers and prices for the Cupra parts.

I checked on ETKA right up the latest 2010 model year and I cant find any reference to a glovebox light anywhere It would be interesting to get a vin number off a car with one fitted, maybe Im just missing something

 

[DJHotspur]

I will check my VIN number before i leave work and PM when i get home if that helps?!

I don't have one on my 57 plate cupra.............strange that some cars seem to have them.

Maybe its the K1's that seem to have them????

 

[nomad_fr]

Taken a while to reply, but I thought I had one when I read the thread late Sunday night and I checked today and YEAH I HAVE ONE and on a courtesy switch too

Strange how some do and some don't isn't it

Seems like its a MY09 thing (58 plate) onwards rather than a Cupra thing.

 

[seremotors]
