i fitted a top glovebox to mine and added the light as i wanted it to be OEM, i cant get it out so easy as i will have to remove the whole top box, but the switch is a very simple device as i remember, the main light unit, the little plastic rocker switch and the electrical contacts, its very obvious how it should work, the plastic rocker in its left alone position is a complete circuit so the light is on, then when you shut the glovebox the rocker pushes against the box frame and it breaks the circuit.

The only 2 things that could really be wrong is either the bulb itself or the contacts/spring are dirty or not making contact
