[Euro] Light in Glovebox compartment

[pxrnm]

This is interesting since the one who can realise it is the person at the back seat (when it's dark + turn the tacho light on) - by nodding your head a little bit you can see lights escapes from the compartment's tiny openings.

I found out that the light in the glove's compartment is always on when you turn the light (headlights/tacho) on, is this normal?

I thought glove compartment light should be on only when you open the compartment and off when you close it back.

yes it is just activated by the headlights, there is no other switches in the glovebox or glovebox latch

is this the same for the DC2R? as my light doesnt turn on anymore, neither does the ashtrays? are they LED's or globes that need replacing?

Its like that in case someone gets locked inside the glove box so they can see where they are

HAHAHA. Nice one.

What can you say, it happens.

lol, seems silly though

most other cars have a simple button and when the glove box is closed it turns the light off, would cost all of about 2 cents for honda to put in?

what does it matter? live with it
have you honestly even noticed before?

all the time, probably cause along with the light being on the glovebox doesnt line up very well

well i noticed it last saturday for the first time, but still you know it's EURO and it's pretty cheap to have something like that happen. oh well, as long as I know it's not just my car alone.
