I have been making trunk lights for a lot of my coworkers, just making them at my cost. Obviously the lights in my work vehicle are a little more than what I do for everyone else, because no one wants to pay that much.
I have been wanting to do trunk lights in the red car for a long time and just never got around to it, until today.
Because our trunk light socket is on the lid, I used an adapter, the same one I use for all the work lights. It plugs into the socket and has two wires poking out of it. Once in place these work really well.
Then I put a strip of lights on the deck lid, then routed wiring down into the trunk and added two more strips.
I did use crimp connections on the pieces going into the trunk so I can disconnect the pieces in the event I need to remove the deck lid.
I am super impressed with how it turned out. Anyhow, pics:
I did tape over all the wire so it blends in at least.
The inside the trunk lights
The strip on the deck lid.
Let there be light!
I know I don't use this car often, and this is probably totally unnecessary, but man it makes me happy!
