Is the glove box meant to have a light in it? Mine seems to be missing a bit of trim and has 2 brown wires hanging down.

Hi mate

Yes there is a light in the glove box, if it's a RHD, it should be located in the silver plate where the glove box latches too, just to the left, the light has a button one one end, and the bulb on the other, the 2 brown wires you've found will be for the light.

It just pushes up into the hole where the wires are coming through.
