1 obvious answer is TCM, alternative is any car audio/accessories shop, most should sell bulbs but whether got glove box size depends, else change to led, commercial section i think got a few seller selling leds, check them out

Mine blew just before the 5,000km servicing and I had it replaced for free at Tan Chong.

anyonw knows what is the bulb rating as in 5V or 12V? i'm thinking of buying my own LED or cold cathode tube and DIY with a microswitch to the glovebox door. power will tap from cigarette lighter source so it'll be independent of itself instead of the headlight switch.

Thanks..

Glove box light is only available in premium model?
Mine is the standard model and I don't have the light. Can I get it installed?
