Glove Box Light: LB5Z-14A411-D
My 2020 had a light in the glove box, my 2021 does not. My 2021 had the harness for the light to plug into so it was a 10-15 minute process to add one. Pop the glove box assembly out and look for the harness (gray plug) towards drivers side before ordering light.
Press the tabs on the side of the glove box to get the box droop.
Gently pull out on the light actuator (arm on the right)
Remove five T-25 torx bolts
Gently pull out on the entire box assembly. There are a couple of clips on the top.
Pop out the dummy panel
Install the light. Push it through the hole and pop it in from the inside.
Route the wire towards the drivers side utilizing the metal clips on the built in mounting tabs on the back of the glove box surround.
Pop out the dummy harness plug (gray) and plug in the new light harness. Continue routing the wire toward the passenger side.
The small black harness is for the light actuator switch. Plug that into the two pin connector.
Reinstall glove box and test. Super easy.
