light in the glovebox

Ok, I received LED stage 2 kit for G37 that i ordered from Didode.
I was trying to replace the glove box light but then I realized that there is no socket!! I have 2011 G37X coupe,,, Is it just for 2011 models who don't have light in the glovebox?

There should be a socket, it's just a royal PITA to get to it. I did it when I replaced my cabin filter.

I just did it by looking at the DYI, it helped me a lot.
But I couldn't remove the damper pin by my finger,, spent 30 min by doing it with my hands. Used flat head and it fell out easily~
