An LED bulb does work in the glove box with no issues, you just have to pull the fuse in the passenger side dash before removing the OEM halogen and installing the LED. Then put the fuse back in and you're good.
Ahhh ok, thanks for clarifying. Yes, I am definitely not impressed with the quality, but the lights are bright and no flickers. The pricing I have seen seems to be about $30 for each of these replacement units. Of course, I'm purchasing a bunch of OEM units, and then I'll buy the OEM LED kits at some point. I prefer the OEM quality.
