Driving to work this morning in the dark, opened the glovebox to take out a CD and thought hmmm, no light, should I have one?

Nope you dont get one althought the cutout for one is there. You can install one easy enough if you get a light from a golf or something and just run it off the fag lighter or something.

nah i havent got one either... sport spec, about the same time as yours (june '04)

tho knowing what vw are like with changing spec... chances are if we bought a few months earlier/later we mightve got one!

I'm sure theres a guide to fitting one on the forum somewhere, but haven't managed to find it yet!

hope thats useful mate

I didn't have one, but fitted it with the same lens as in the boot. And a switch so it turned off and on when you opened it etc..

Can't remember how I did it but wasn't too hard.
