Since my 55 is used on long distance trips including trips at night a glove box light would be nice when I need to get into it after dark,I seen two on ebay and the sellers are smoking crack so I am going to come up with a cheaper alternative. Today at the junkyard I took a glove box light out of a 56 Merc and I looked at my 55 and did not see a place for a switch and wondering if I will have to drill a hole,I am going back in the garage and will look closer so if there is anyone out there with a 52 to 56 with a glove box light I need to see some pics on how its mounted and where the switch is located. The correct ford light is a two piece part with a switch and a light assembly and the merc is all made into one similar to the early mustangs.
 
I ended up using one from a mid 60s lincoln and wiring it to the courtesy light under the dash.
