Let's see how to replace the bulbs in the glove compartment and boot with LED lamps on an Opel Astra J. You can easily find these bulbs on any e-commerce site at a very reasonable price. Start with the boot; remove the light unit by prying it with a screwdriver and take out the bulb that needs replacing.

Even though it's an LED, remember not to touch the new bulb with bare hands; the YouTuber wears gloves for this reason. Refit the light unit, and that's done.

Now move to the glove compartment, where you will do the same: pry off the light unit and perform the same operation. The difference in brightness is significant.
