I have a 2008 Corolla. Anyone ever add a glove box light to the 03-08 model? I have seen some examples on other sites for different manufacturers but not for the Corolla. Any suggestions?

Its very easy to do. You just need a switch that is a push switch like you would find on most car doors. Or a glove box switch. Some wire and a bulb. Just depends on how handy you are to get it done really.

i have put lights in my 08 corolla specifically neons, i would get a switch that comes with wiring, not a flip switch like those crapy racing "nos" switches...keep it simple. buy a light or l.e.d. that can be used with the switches and use double stick tape or whatever you want and install it whereever you want in the glovebox

You can make the job even easier by eliminating the switch and just wire the bulb to a circuit that applies power whenever the headlights are on. That's the way the factory did it on my Highlander. I would use a long-life incandescent or better yet, a high brightness LED bulb.
