Consumer Description

LIGHT IN THE GLOVEBOX DOESNOT HAVE A SWITCH. IT TURNS ON AS SOON AS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. MY GLOVEBOX WAS FULL OF SOME PAPER AND I OPENED THE GLOVE BOX TO FIN DHTE PAPERS BECAME VERY HOT TO TOUCH AND I FELT LIKE THEY WOULD BURN ANY MOMENT. A SWITCH SHOULD BE INCLUDED SO THAT THE LIGHT TURNS ON ONLY WHEN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS OPENED. ANY CLOTH OF EASILY FLAMMABLE MATERIAL CAN CATCH FIRE DUE TO HEAT AND GO UNNOTICED.
