Glove box light

See attached pictures, I never knew there was a light bulb socket in my glovebox until I pulled it apart today. I put a spare blue bulb in there and it's all wired up it works perfectly, but it doesn't do anything!

The light goes nowhere as you can see there's 2 slots to clip on the mount where a tiny amount of light could shine into the the glovebox below but 99% of the light from the bulb just gets blocked by solid plastic. 

 

I took a scalpel to the plastic that was blocking the light and it works as intended now. I thought this was really strange, are they all built like that or does mine have a casting error in the plastic?

this last picture is how it looks now I've removed some plastic. Shouldn't it have been designed like this? 20200409_141651.thumb.jpg.e32f5e685a9072d1374ff12741131ba5.jpg

      Tomei Oil Pump on Early R32 RB26 Crank?

      By groovezog · Posted

      Hey, thanks dude. Freedom to do whatever one wants to with their own car and build, but personally I don't want anything that's too precious. If I can't beat on it when I feel inspired, what's the point of having a car like this? And if I break something, it's me who's going to be fixing it myself...

      Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling    the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly    so guys is this an rb20 or rb25 and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks

      found this on the forum , suggests I am in the range  ----------------------------- From the segmented (potentially incorrect) information I've found that;  Early R32: RB26000XXXX to RB26002XXXX  Mid R32: RB26003XXXX (V-Spec I RB26-03XXXXX - Reference Classic Register) Late R32: RB26004XXXX (V-Spec II RB26-042XXXX - RB26-045XXXX - Reference Classic Register) Early R33: RB26005XXXX Mid R33: RB26006XXXX (as per the engine in this R32 V-Spec II, which is what I'm concerned about from legitimacy perspective) Late R33:  RB26007XXXX Early R34 (2000+):  RB26008XXXX ----------------------
