Interior boot light help!

[Tomo_Rep.97]

As you all know the standard bulb is crap and doesn't light up the boot that much, I've just brought one of those bulbs (below) and it's a nicer colour however it's not that bright, can anyone recommend a super bright interior led bulb?

I ended up putting an LED panel across the boot lid, some people have put LED strips across the underside of the parcel shelf. Either or will give you a far better result than trying to squeeze a big LED bulb setup into a tiny light fixture, IMO.

I thought about doing that but don't have a donkey about how to do it, the strips that is, how is it wired?

 

[McGherkin]

Into the interior light terminals. Some strips even come with an adapter that you just plug in like a normal bulb.

I don't have a clue about the wiring for that, oh really? Never seen anything like that, got a link? Cheers mate, good ideas

Yeah never seen the ones with the bulb adapter I mean.

Just buy one of these, snip the connector off the end and voila, you have a positive and earth wire from the interior light socket.
