As strange as it may seem, the glove compartment of the Fiat Grande Punto does not have a courtesy light, but the youtuber will help you install one: what we need is a LED strip, which can be easily found on any e-commerce platform for a few euros; it is cut to size, where there are the two little circles, which are a positive and a negative pole, to which we will connect two wires, the red one on the plus and the black one on the minus.

To turn on the light when the little door is opened, a switch has also been installed, which activates the circuit when the door is opened.

The power is taken from the battery, but it is advisable to always take it through a 10 Ampere fuse that has been placed near the fuses in the cabin compartment. It would be possible to take power from the cigarette lighter as well, but if you open the drawer with the engine off, it will not light up.
