Just installed the Corksport LED interior lighting kit, great so far!

Put in the glovebox light, and now it doesn't turn on.... tried replacing with the original bulb and same thing.

Did I miss something on putting the glove box back into place, what 'activates' the light to turn on?

Could have sworn I tried that, after installing the LED fogs.... maybe I'm just forgetful

Or it could be the fuse.

Thanks guys

Edit;

Looking at the fuse layout on the pdf manual, the only thing I see is 'interior lighting' , but since all the other interior lights work (overhead etc) I can't see that being the problem

I actually blew a fuse when changing the glove box light as well somehow. What I noticed when it happened was the lights for the radio controls/climate control/steering wheel button controls didn't work as well as the glove box light (obviously) with the headlights on. It was one (or the only one) 7.5A fuse in the engine bay which might have been the interior lighting fuse.

Well, appeared to be a combination of my stupidity, and my ... stupidity :)

The bulb was in backwards (same thing happened with the license plate lights) and after correcting that all was well.

I remember trying the bulb in both ways around, but without the parking lights...

Thanks
