Glove Box Light.

[fx1mark]

I have been kicking around ideas for a glove box light. It's not like the twins have a huge glove box and really need a light, but I was thinking about a solution just for fun. I finally came upon the idea of using a small usb touch light. I cut a usb cable I had and soldered the power wires to the usb light. then I used some heat shrink around that to just tidy it up a bit. next I cut a piece of go-pro 3m adhesive to go on the backside. then it's just a matter of sticking the light to the top of the glove box and plugging it in to a usb charger. I have a dual port charger coming so that I can still plug another usb device in. The key must be on for the light to work. you just open the glove box and touch the end of the light to turn it on or off. this particular light has two led colors. touch it once for the first color and touch it again for the second. You can also hold the switch to dim the light. these functions are unecessary for a glove box light but it has them none the less. I needed this light to be able to touch switch from the light side to switch it on or off. it looked to me like some of them only switched from the backside which would not work. this light can be switched from either side. I paid $2 for four of these, they were on sale at the time. I will include a link to them at the bottom. you could wire it in to the car permanently. I have a usb charger that I took apart. I could just wire the 12 volt in to it and send the 5 volt out to the light. sorry for the bad phone pics.
