I simply took a very bright festoon lamp that I had and hardwired it to the lamp circuit keeping the original glovebox door switch in place and in use. This LED happens to be non-polarity specific, but even if it was polarity specific I could have just wired it correctly.

Anyway, the results are a much brighter glovebox.
I've been meaning to ask, can you give us some more specific info about how you adapted the festoon lamp to your glovebox door switch? Looks like a great idea, more light there would be nice to have.
