Magnetic Glove-Box Light

This hidden lighting component illuminates the glove box through the use of a rare earth magnet (mounted to the moveable door) and composite light housing (fixed in place) without any customer-visible switch.  Magnetic flux lines trigger the sensor to turn on/off as the door opens/closes, increasing styling flexibility, reducing complexity, and facilitating material recyclability. The system is very package friendly, saves 10% costs and 20% mass from earlier systems.
