Hey, how come the glove box light only works when the car is on? Dumb design.

My first thought was I pulled the wires when I put the micro-filters in.

(And truthfully, this was nothing more than to see if my new sig is working right... And check the other pics in my profile!)

Hey adam..would you happen to have a pic of your under the grill mesh?
are you happy with it that way? does it make much of an impression or difference appearance wise? I'm still toying with how to put it ON TOP of the grill. My wife and neighbours think I'm crazy..I've been staring at the front of my car for hours and days now

One possible reasoning is that the glove box and trunk light are often culprits of slow drain issues.

I had a condition in my old 626 where the trunk light switch was fused closed. After 3 days of not running the battery was dead. Hammer + Light = Solution.

actually I havn't put it on yet, you can look at FLOMAX's car or Russ's maxima they have the under grill it's definitely worth putting it on for t6he 5 bones, as soon as my car gets out of the shop im painting my calipers and putting the grill on, i hope to get some pix soon...

They have in my last three cars. I think the cars I bought before that were to cheap to have glove box lights.
