Finally got it figured out. Was able to track down the fuse that controls the light in the box and the actuator that opens the glove box. The fuse box is located underneath the passenger dash. There are three screws that you will to need to remove that will reveal the fuse box. After you remove the panel look up and to the right and you will see a panel with a green screw. Unscrew this and it will reveal the fuse panel. The fuse that I replaced was the mini 10 fuse in the below pic. I tired different type SMD LED bulbs and it kept popping the fuse. So I ended just putting the stock one back in.

After you remove the three screws. Look upward to the left side of the footwell and you'll see another green screw. Loosen this screw and the fuse box will pop down. Horrible design but great if for the dealers
