Let's see how to illuminate the glove box of a Volkswagen Golf VII: first, lift the air conditioning trim to remove the glove box, allowing the wires to pass through from behind. We made a small hole in the glove box to pass the electrical wire, while we will attach the LED strip inside; the electrical wires run from the climatronic to exit in the passenger space, where we will connect them to the footwell lights, allowing us to adjust the brightness like the other lights.

Refit the glove box and check the result. The YouTuber finds it too bright, but of course, the result can be adjusted at any time since it is a cuttable adhesive strip.
