There are a row of torx screws on the top edge, and 3 under the piece of carpet inside. Either peel it back, or make a cross with a sharp blade to allow the torx bit through.

Open it up, there are four Torx screws along the top of the lid.

Peel back the "carpet" on the floor of the glovebox and there will be 3 more Torx screws in a line

Push from the back and pull from the front (I took the fusepanel box off to help with this) and unplug the light connector (just a clip) when it comes free.

Done
