Jsmith Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Tonight was the first time I needed to look in the glove box at night. The bulb does not put out nearly enough light so I want to upgrade it. I searched the lighting thread but could not find this listed. Does anyone know what bulb size is in the glove box?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 So.. I did a little digging to see if it's a LED attached to a circuit board like on my '09, which it likely is after searching. I know you have a 6th gen, but pictures from my 4th gen if anyone is bored and curious. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3282518&postcount=40 There's no picture on parts.subaru.com for the light. Part number 66237AJ01A https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2017_Legacy-Limited-Sedan-wEyeSight-25L-CVT-4WD/LAMP-POCKET/49279100/66237AJ01A.html So, I decided to google image search the part number for the "lamp holder", with a picture in the link below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-2008-2018-Subaru-Glove-Box-Lamp-Holder-Impreza-WRX-STI-Forester-66237FG000-/321993924062 So to make a long story short.. There were also pictures of the lamp that fits in that holder above, which looks like what's found in the link below (it's a different part number, but it looks like they're all basically the same). It looks like you can't just swap out the bulb, it's a whole lamp assembly thing.. https://www.ebay.com/i/201514411815?rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieN8 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hmm... Mine must be burnt out, because there's no light in there. I'll have to look for the bulb placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammcinnis Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yep ... the glove box light is an LED assembly, not a standard (discrete) incandescent lamp form factor. From tha FSM, it looks like the light for the storage cubby below the HVAC control panel may use the same LED assembly.

IcEWoLF Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 For me the stupid light turns on only at night and it’s so dim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieN8 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So, then I assume it only illuminates if the parking or headlights are on. That's why I didn't see it, I checked with the car off inside my dark garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 For me the stupid light turns on only at night and it’s so dim... This is why I wanted to upgrade it, was not impressed when looking through my glove box at night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieN8 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yep, only works when the parking/headlights are on, but sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
