I have a premium model all weather package and moonroof. I thought that the upgraded models would have it but I guess mine doesn't.

There's been multiple times that I have opened the glove box at night with the headlights and parking lights turned on while the car is in park, in motion etc and no light for me. My 2008 2.5i base model with no upgrades at all even had a light in the glove box. Wonder why they took it out on '12+ models.

There is one, but it only turns on if your headlights are on (at least in my Sport).

Explains alot. I only look in that thing when the car is off lol

SN: Happen to see a silver XV out in Waldorf (first time I seen it in person yesterday)
I must say it looks rather nice

Back on topic now. There is a slight "whine" that I hear at certain times while driving. It's coming from the right side front/ or just right in general(i think). Can't really tell what it is since it pops up randomly but tends be come around around 60mph+ and usually during highway driving. Any clue?

sounds more like an electrical winding noise. Cars running fine, no grinding, no wobble or nothing like that. You know the high pitch you get when you turn a vacuum cleaner on? it kinda sounds like that, though a bit muffled. Can only hear it when it's dead quiet in the car and only comes up when I'm up at speed

I have the glove box LED in my 12 Sport Premium. BTW, does anyone know what size LED that is so I can change it out with something a little brighter and less yellowish?

I thought it was already pretty white in color, any more and it would be blue

Be happy you don't hear what I hear from my car. At times when I hit approximately 60mph I have this weird loud grind from front so maybe transmission. It sound like driving over rumble strips on highway. No vibration, car drives normal. I think it might be cvt belt (chain!?) Once I take my foot of gas pedal or press it harder it goes away. Sometimes it happens at lower speeds too but very rarely. Dealership mechanics think I'm crazy since they can't reproduce it. I can't believe I am the only one since I have not see anybody complaining about it here. If that went away somehow this car would be perfect.

mine is dim yellow also. I almost never open the glove box, so I haven't really thought about changing it.

I just went out to my car on my lunch break. It's parked in the basement of a parking garage and I turned my car on and the lights and there is no light inside of my glove box. I looked around everywhere for one. No light at all.

I would have thought it would have been put on a premium over a base model since people with limiteds are saying they have one.

whinning noise could be transmission or could be weather stripping by your window, maybe it went out of alignment so you are hearing wind noise. I would venture it was more the weather stripping probably near one of the side mirrors or such.

My '12 4 door premium has the light in the glove box. It's just right of the center part at the top that sticks out. The holder feels a little loose, like it is a separate module, not just molded into the surrounding plastic. Oh, and it's yellow and turns on when I turn on the lights no matter if the car is on or off. I don't think this would make a difference, but I have the winter package as well.

My non-sport premium has it as well. It appears to be a single amber LED that's tied in with the parking lights.
