    Quick ? about trunklight

    The OEM bulb was too dull, so i took the cover off and replaced the OEM bulb with a blue "hyperwhite" bulb and w/o the cover its retty bright, but still not bright enough IMO.

    Anyone know if they make LED bulbs in that variation or has anyone tried doing otherwise?

    i.e; wiring up a different, bigger light; neon; extra bulbs; etc

      I had two Neons hooked up to an auxiliary switch. I used to have 2 blacklights, but then I managed to pinch the 3rd brake light wiring and it caught fire and a bunch of other shenanigans ensued.

      So yeah, I just wired them separate of anything.

        How bright do you want your trunk? I used High Power Led Festoons for my interior and I think they are bright, but you might have a different definition of bright.

                Tommi, do you mean youve crawled in there and one isnt present or a light doesnt come on when you open the trunk?

                If a light doesnt come on, your bulb might be burnt or wiring is fried....

                Matt(and others) did you just wire it up through the pre-existing light

                Thats what i thought about doing, was getting a 9 or 12in neon, pulling out the socket for the OEM setup and just wiring the neon to that. I dont wanna have to turn it on, i want it to come on when i pop the trunk.

                      Nice

                      Not bad. I have green undercar, and green in the trunk would match, but i use the light more for its purpose and not show so...maybe i'll go one small green one and one small white one
