Glovebox Light

[HG2K5]

I have just yesterday bought a 2004 04 reg 1.2 16v Dynamique, and went into my glovebox earlier to discover no light, poked around and found a space which look like a glovebox light shaped hole.

Had a further poke about for some wires i.e. the wire with plug on it that plugs into the glovebox light and felt 3 foam covered wires, but all were leading to other areas and felt tightly attached to something when tugged.

hence I'm asking, was a glovebox light a standard feature on my car??

Short answer...No.
If you get one from another model, it will just pop in..

 

[Da]

I have one forsale, full working order (not that it matters lol)

:O glovebox light wasnt a standard feature on a top of the range Clio?? (Dynamique I'm told is a high spec model)

p.s. if this is true and I havent picked you up wrong, will my car still have the wiring for a glovebox light even tho it wasnt equipped with 1 as standard.

 

[fUbAr]

can i fit one to my Ph1 172?

i love the way they fitted an ashtray light but no glove box light! lol

 

[BrianR]

Anything to save a €

so essentially what your all telling me is "No, HG, your 04 plate Dynamique top of the range didnt come with a glovebox light fitted to it"??

yes?? no??

if yes, as asked before, will the wiring/loom/plug be there for me to fit a glovebox light by simply "plug n play" method

 

[Da]

the Dci had one some I'm pretty shocked the Dynamique doesn't, I will check my mum's tomorrow.

Oh and the Dynamique isn't the top of the range although it is pretty high up. There's the Initiale above it before you get to the RS's

 

[HG2K5]

I'm more worried about if the wiring and plug is going to be there than if my car was meant to have 1 as standard.

as long as I can fit a working 1 I'm happy.

Can you supply the vehicle number etc and I'll look it up on Dialogys?

Just had a look at my g/f 1.2 dynam with A/c deffo no light.....cheap skate mofo's.

I work for arnold clark (12 renault dealerships amongst other things) and was working on an 02 plate Dynamique, its had a light, 03 plater in 1 of our used car showrooms, it too had a light, June 04 plater in the showroom, it had an indent where the light would be then a blanking plate. my May 04 just has the hole, no light but no blanking plate either.

its booked into renault to see if I have the wiring for it, if so a light will be bought and stuck in.

 

[Has]

My Dynamique has one

They WERE standard on thge Dynamique range up until about 2003 !!

My 2001 Dynamique has many things the newer ones didnt.....

Glovebox Light
Brushed Ali Dash inserts
Seatd Lumbar Adjusters
Dashboard Light Dimmers
The "nicer Dynamique seat material"
- along with proper door trimming

They got rid of all the above and a few more after 2003

My 172 got's one.. it doesnt seenm to work, but its got one!

 

[Tigger]

When I got my 04 Dynamique it had no glove-box light.
My dads 02 dci dynamique has one.

I asked at Renault and they said the feature wasn't put in as it caused problems in earlier models :S
