No Glove BoxLight, Problem Solved

Yes it's a minor annoyance but as many know the glovebox light was removed from the majority of trucks starting in 2017. The good news is the light is available but Ford has a $50.00 core charge on it which makes it not cost effective. However Tasca does not have this core charge on their Ebay purchases. I have confirmed the pigtail is there in four trucks and is just attached to the back of the blank plug. The install is the same procedure as changing the cabin air filter in terms of components removed. Figured I could help someone out!

Which part in the exploded view is the light? I have a light in my '17, but it's so tiny it's useless, the switch and light are integral in mine, but doesn't look like anything in the view.

The switch and light are one piece and shown as #12.

Ah, that is what I have. I racked my brain for awhile trying to figure out something to get better light, I gave up.
