Trunk lighting solution needed
 

IT'S DARK IN THERE!

I carry 2-3 small shopping bags and invariably the light gets covered up and I can't see a thing. First world problem maybe, but I'm up for ideas. I can't be the first operson who wishes that the trunk had better lighting.

Can I put a light on the hatch side of things? Or small LEDs or something? WHat has anyone done to light up the trunk? Because what's there really isn't doing so great.

go with the interior LED swap :tup:

here is where I got mine, from a forum sponsor :tup:

But I don't want subtle in the trunk, I want bright and visible.

:ugh2: mine is bright…. where did it say subtle? the LEDs are brighter then the stock bulbs :ugh2:

If only you could redirect the headlights to the hatch... :p


Carry a flashlight. ;)

Yep I carry a flashlight, looking for a prettier solution. I was thinking of a string of white LED lights snakng around the edge of the trunk but on the underside of the lip so as not to blind me when I look in, and so that light is put in from all directions and all sides and corners of the trunk itself.

Ok I am starting to rethink my suggestions……..

I am starting to think you might have vision problems :ugh2:

:iagree:

The trunk light is IN the trunk. When you have stuff in the trunk it blocks the light and you see nothing at all.

You need over head trunk lights. Mount led strip on the hatch facing downward.

I love my custom high power LED trunk light, though. :-D
