So I removed the fusebox in order to get to the cabin filter. When I was finished I put the fusebox back and re-connected the wires. I thought I did everything right but now when I open the glove compartment the light doesn't come on.
Is there ONE specific wire connected to the fusebox that is solely responsible for the glove compartment light?

When I look at the fusebox there is 1 wire that seems like it should be connected but it doesn't reach so I assumed it's not supposed to be connected. Does anyone have a map or image of what should be connected?

Your help is appreciated!

This might be a stupid question/comment but you did turn your headlight stalk forward at least 1 click right?

The light won't come on unless you do.

Yep I did. I turned on the lights AND even started the car, still doesn't work.
I tried searching online for images of the fusebox but I can't find anything that's helpful.

Did you reconnect the wire to the light?

Still using the glass bulb? it might have failed from being knocked around when you had it out..........

I'd go with that first - the glovebox on the mz3 is like a cave without light.
