There is no glove compartment light on the 2012 models. However, the wiring remains (taped and tucked away behind the compartment) so it would be easy to buy the light and install it.

Here's a picture of my installed cover. The sides are perforated and it's installed "upside down" so that the seams aren't on the 10:00 & 2:00 grips. Thanks for the tip Tom!TomT said:As requested, here is a picture of the perforated leather steering wheel cover I added as per my description some messages back. I'm very happy with it. It fits well, is much cooler in summer and warmer in winter than the stock plastic wheel, and the ten and two positions are in the appropriate places and very comfortable to the hands. Much nicer all the way around (pun unintentional) than the non-CWP factory wheel.

I'm not sure what you're seeing, but it fits very well and I made all the seams very tight.laalan said:It looks as if there is open space implying the cover isn't big enough to cover the entire steering wheel. That is, where the stitches are, it appears that the gap wasn't closed. Just didn't stitch tight enough? Or is that how it is made?
That's correct. That was my preference. Both of my other cars came this way.garygid said:The top picture seems to be perf'd at the sides and top.
The 2nd picture appears to be only perf'd on the two sides, and not at the top or bottom.
Anyone proven a '12 delivered without the switch can get an '11 switch and be able to turn of the VSP?ovev said:The VSP switch can probably be retrofitted. My '12 Leaf do have the VSP switch. The middle of the lower three switches.
the description of the 2012 on the nissan still says something like 'illuminated glove compartment'PatricioEV said:There is no glove compartment light on the 2012 models. However, the wiring remains (taped and tucked away behind the compartment) so it would be easy to buy the light and install it.
