    There's worse things that can happen. :)

    Some of us don't have wiring harnesses up there...

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    It's not too hard if you have a vice, never tried it without one. Just mark everything and make sure your zirt grease fittings are in the right place after reassembly. No thoughts on Moog, only ever used OEM.

    Just drill a small hole in the top, run a power wire off the dash lights and find a ground. Not too bad.

    I already took care of it.

    What I meant was, some of us don't have wiring harnesses to just plug a bulb into. :)

    Also, running them off the dash lights means the lights have to be on for the glove box to be illuminated. It made more sense to have that hot all the time so I wouldn't have to turn on the lights just to see what I'm trying to find in the glove box. Maybe I just went out to the truck to get something at night....
