I am wondering if there's an actual light in my glove box, since I bought my car have not really noticed one, its 2008 Is250... And if there is one how do you replace it?

I think it's 1 LED light that lights the glove box, it only comes on when you have your headlights turned on

Not sure about a DIY but if you do need to replace it here is the part number and a picture of it. The price is $12.99 at Sewell with CL discount.

In my previous post I stated the the headlight needs to be on but I was wrong, as long as you have the car in the ON position (engine does not have to be started), once you open the glove box the light should turn on.
