Many MQB platform vehicles sold in India come with the physical provision for a glovebox light and switch, including dedicated mounting slots and a lid-operated switch location. However, the light, wiring, and fuse are often omitted from the factory to reduce production costs on lower or mid variants.

This results in a glovebox that remains unlit despite being structurally ready for illumination. The TecUpdater Glovebox Light Full Kit is designed to restore this missing feature in a correct and safe manner, following OEM electrical logic rather than aftermarket shortcuts.

Where and How It Is Used

The glovebox already has:

• A dedicated slot for the glovebox light housing

• A pre-designed mounting point for the switch

• A lid contact position where the glovebox door presses the switch to turn the light OFF when closed

This kit uses these factory-provided locations. When installed, the light turns ON automatically when the glovebox is opened and turns OFF when the lid is closed, exactly as intended in OEM configurations.

Power is sourced from the vehicle’s fuse box using the supplied fuse tap, ensuring the glovebox light circuit remains electrically isolated and protected.

Electrical Safety and Fuse Logic

A key design principle of this kit is that no electrical load should be added to a vehicle without proper fuse protection. The supplied fuse tap includes a 7.5 amp fuse dedicated to the glovebox light circuit.

This ensures:

• Overcurrent protection

• No load stress on existing circuits

• Compliance with safe automotive wiring practices

The fuse tap is installed into an empty fuse slot in the fuse box, avoiding any interference with existing vehicle systems.

Harness and Connector Design

The kit includes a complete wiring harness designed specifically for MQB cars. All connections are plug-and-play, with no wire cutting, splicing, or insulation removal required.

The harness routes cleanly from the fuse box to the glovebox light location, maintaining an OEM-style installation finish.

Light Source and LED Upgrade Option

The standard glovebox light supports a halogen bulb. For users who prefer brighter and cleaner illumination, an optional T10 white LED can be installed as an upgrade.

The LED option:

• Improves visibility inside the glovebox

• Produces less heat

• Matches modern interior lighting aesthetics

Both halogen and LED options are compatible with the supplied light housing.

Installation Notes

• No wire cutting required

• No coding or scanning required

• Uses fuse tap with dedicated 7.5A fuse

• Fits directly into factory glovebox slots

• Switch operates automatically via glovebox lid

The installation can be completed using basic tools. For users who require guidance, TecUpdater provides free installation assistance over phone or WhatsApp.
