LED Boot light

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Since I got the car I was a bit annoyed that they put a bulb only in 1 corner of the boot and the light is not as bright as I want it. Few months ago I changed the nt bulb with LED but was not still happy. Yesterday when I was being lazy at work an idea came up. I had a 2 inch self-adhesive LED strip laying around in the draw so decided it will suit perfectly. 

In order to connect it to the original bulb socket I used a LEDs bulb, I removed the LED board part from the plastic plug, inserted the wires that I covered with solder and bent them after that. That plug then went straight to the socket on the car.

Lastly I adhered the LED strip in the middle of the boot so get good lighting everywhere.

And the final result:
