How do you pop the lightblub out to the glove box in the Coupe?? Is there a latch or cover that need to come off? I just can't grab it.

You have to take the whole glovebox out. PITA. I was going to replace it with an LED but I couldn't find one to replace it with.

that seems like a lot of work. i changed all my interior lights except the vanity mirrors and the glove box lights. IMO, you don't even need to change those out. I mean how often do we actually use the vanity mirrors or the glove box light?

i just glanced through my 2007 altima service manual and found there is pdf file called "IP.pdf", it shows you how to remove the glove box. you can download the 2008 coupe service manual on this site (somewhere).

Haha I never thought of replacing the vanity mirror lights... Sounds easy enough, but very impractical no doubt.

My car has all red interior LED's... Would be kind of cool to get the mirror ones too.
