Aftermarket Glovebox Light (Glow Box Lite)

[Highway 11]

I was disappointed that the 2023 F150 got rid of the glove box light. My 2017 Escape had one (and a dampened glove box, but I could go on) and it wasn't until I got the F150 that I realized how much I really did appreciate the light.

The cheapest and fastest solution I found was from Etsy. It's a small LED light that turns off and on based on human motion when the glovebox is opened. It stays on as long as the sensor detects motion, and turns off after a few seconds otherwise. The battery is a 2032 button cell which seems easy enough to change out.

It was originally created for some Volkswagen, but it works well enough mounted to the back of the F150's glovebox using 3M mounting tape. It's small enough and I'm tempted to get another one for the upper glovebox or for the storage area underneath the rear seat.

I posted this in the "What did you do to your F150" thread, but I think it deserves its own post.

I ordered a couple from his website. There you can get the white light and not the green. I wish he had blue to match the blue for the F-150 but white works for seeing your stuff.

The Etsy link should be for the white light only. I added it to my cart and got a coupon code shortly afterwards.

I do agree that a Ford blue or at least a warmer glow to match the centre console storage bin would be great, but that's nitpicking an otherwise great item. I thought it would be flimsy given that it's 3D printed, but I was pleasantly surprised by how robust it was. I guess 3D printing has come a long way.

I just installed these, which are sold under a bunch of different names on Amazon. Not as cool looking, but functional.
