Bulbs will work either way round. One thing to look at, make sure the little wire elements are actually making contact with the contacts in the bulb holders, its easy for them to bend as you push the bulb in and it may not be making contact. Having said that though, I doubt that would be the case if all your bulbs are out. Put a test meter in one of the sockets to make sure they are actually getting power to them.

Thats an idea, you'll be amazed the number of people that don't even know that control is there.

i had these problems aswell, but i still aint done anything to the center console lights cos im lazy.
but as for the the glovebox, prise out the bulb bit and get some wet and dry paper and sand the metal contacts. mine were covered in crap and so the switch to turn the lights on when the box is open wasnt working
