Title: glove box light - an option?
Post by: RocketScientist on December 21, 2017, 03:59:37 AM
Was the glove box light an option on 69-70 cars?  If it was, what was the decider on getting the light?

I looked at previous posts and it indicated that the light wasn't standard but I wanted to make sure.

News to me, I've never seen one without a glove box lamp but of course I haven't seen them all.
Courtesy lighting is standard for 69 as stated in the 69 brochure.
My car has the visibility group with the lighted ignition switch and map light, but I doubt you had to opt for that just to get a glove box lamp.

Schematics indicate the glove box light only available with clock and map light harness; the glove box light is at the tail-end of everything.

Makes sense since it would be mounted in the same panel as the clock.  My low option car does not have the glove box light.

Visibility group option gave you the  Glove Box / Map light.

Is the hole in the metal dash frame where the switch would sit, left open or plugged with a grommet?

It the light is not there it is left open.
