Arrow glove box light....supposed to stay on?

The other day i noticed the glove box light was on...i could see it through the crack...
just wondering if it's supposed to stay on?
cuz when i tried to look for a switch ...couldn't find one..

when pushing the glove box to close tighter the crack gets smaller...so i don't know if the light is on or not...hehe

My glove box light only comes on when I have the (parking or head)lights on. Is that what you mean? It should be off when the lights are off - like the center console box light. I just replaced the glove box bulb with a Polarg Superwhite M4.

What are you trying to do? Blind the cop when he asks you for the registration card!?

Yer funny - they're not bright like that - just a nicer, more natural color of light than those stock bulbs that put out light that looks like a candle
Plus I don't keep my registration in the car - it's in my wallet

Lightbulb

Kind of like the lights in the power window controls in our cars. They are always on, even if the headlight are not.....

no they're not... just lock the windows from the driver side and the lights turn off

just an FYI

Acura 3200, you're right, but that seems to be a stupid way of doing things. Ah, yes, its ACURA... That explains it....
