[QUOTE="g36 monkey, post: 1419345, member: 10997"] 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: [url=https://flic.kr/p/SpbaPX][img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/305/33080101985_b5dc278e7b_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/Spbapi][img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2648/33080100555_45f13b162c_b.jpg[/img][/url] I did tape over all the wire so it blends in at least.

I know I don't use this car often, and this is probably totally unnecessary, but man it makes me happy! [/QUOTE]
