How to Install a Light in the Glove Compartment of the Volkswagen Polo VI

Let's see how to install the light in the glove compartment of the Volkswagen Polo. You can find the ceiling light on B-parts.com with the code 6L0947585: it costs £56.58 including shipping. The lever with the switch was purchased on AliExpress with the code 33048968827, costing £5.90 plus £3.00 for shipping. The bracket was bought on eBay with the code 173698721371 and costs £2.35 plus £5.90 for delivery. Remember to disconnect the positive terminal of the battery before starting. In the glove compartment, there is a provision for the lamp holder: simply remove the cap using a plastic spatula, then unclip the drawer, being careful not to disconnect the airbag connector. Also, remove the lever that slows the drawer's descent: you will replace it with the one you bought, equipped with a switch. Now, wire the lamp holder connector, following the clear instructions in the video and respecting the polarity to avoid damaging the ceiling light. Connect the negative wire to earth using a pre-insulated eye terminal. Now proceed with the three-pin positive wire, one of which goes towards the fuse box. Install the new lever, secure the new wire with electrician's ties, and tuck it under the carpet, reaching the side of the centre tunnel, which you now need to cross. Retrieve the wire from the driver's side, slightly moving the plastic, and reach the fuse box, preferably along the dashboard: connect to the cigarette lighter fuse (or the internal lights fuse) with a splitter and place a 7.5-amp fuse. Remember not to pull the wires too tight.
