Installing lights in boot?

[kerry-w]

Hi,

My current boot light switch is broken and doesn't ever turn the light off, so I would rather do the following than follow the switches wire to the light to find out what the problem is with it.

I have two sets of LED strips, that are behind the two panels to the right of the boot.

ll the wires and switch are there already as I have done this, but where would the closest place to wire the positive and negative wires?

Would the current boot interior light be the best place to cut into? I dont mind loosing the interior light from there as I can move the switch to that spot then.

What colour wires would need to be cut?

Thanks

Already got enough crap in there smashing around, don't want to add another thing into the mix :rasp:

Just need to know what wires are pos and neg on the current boot light if someone know please

if you have a sound system, you could use the power wire there, and install your own switch.

failing that, a multimeter onto the old interior light to find the live and wire to that.

yes you can cut the wires going to the boot light as i have done this myself to add a boot light the other side. so i now have x2 boot lights. cant remember the wires i cut tho.
