it should be that hard, wire led to switch, put switch on the side of glove box, and stick led in roof of box.

plus i dont think an LED would be the best option here, if you are interested in the lighting, i dont think an led will give the best result

I thought of getting that assembly they use for the trunk light and hooking that up. It would look pretty good I think.

AlienX, post pics of your setup.

i did it, but it stopped working for some reason and im too lazy to fix it. i used a dome light from a 2003 sienna and made a bracket and bolted it to some empty screw holes near the airbag bracket, grabbed constant and ground from radio harness. it was ok, but our glove boxes are too small for lights anyways.
