Will this LED glove box light kit fit my Vanagon?

Yes! This GoWesty-designed LED glove box light kit is specifically designed for all 1980-1991 Vanagon models, regardless of drivetrain, transmission, or body style.

Is this kit hard to install? I'm not a mechanic.

We've designed this kit with DIY installation in mind. While it requires basic tools like screwdrivers, a drill with a 3/32" bit, and wire strippers/crimpers, we also include detailed instructions and a step-by-step installation video to guide you through the process. Many customers find it a straightforward upgrade!

What's the difference between this and the old map light?

This kit replaces your dim, often ineffective original map light with a bright, warm white 80-lumen LED strip. It provides useful illumination the moment you open your glove box, making it much easier to find what you need in the dark.

What tools do I actually need to install it?

You'll need a Phillips screwdriver (both #1 and #2 sizes), a drill, a 3/32" drill bit, and a wire stripper and crimper. All other necessary hardware for the light itself is included in the kit.

Can I add a USB port too?

Great question! While this kit focuses on illuminating your glove box, we also offer the GW-V-USB-MAP-OUT outlet kit. Many customers pair these upgrades for both convenient lighting and charging on the go. Check it out for more details!
