[Andy_con]

I see there are a few posts regarding led boot lights, but none actually say exactly which led bulb to get.

I want one for the clio and the grand scenic

boot light not number plate light chaps :wink:

That'll teach me for not reading the Op, I'll try and find the link to the one I have in the boot. Got the same in the boot and glovebox and they're very bright.

[Andy_con]

like this, or this?

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah, that'd do.

Of course, you could go totally overboard and add a handle light. The standard light is piss poor so this is a huge improvement.

 

[Andy_con]

ok thanks, the grand scenic has one of these do you know what this blub is?

 

[McGherkin]

That's a W5W fella.

As well, just to let you know that's the same bulb used in the Clio interior courtesy light, both sides. :up: I swapped my boot and interior lights for LEDs as well.

Ruined within a week mind, my sunroof developed a catastrophic leak on the wettest week of the year...:angry:

@McGherkin how did you fit the handle light?

 

[McGherkin]

It's an SMD panel glued in place, and power's tapped off the boot light. Basically bootlid trim off, drill a hole in the bottom of the handle for the wire, run the wires up the side of the boot lid and through the top rubber connections, then down to the left C-pillar and into the boot light. Glue SMD panel into the bottom of the handle (it sits nicely in there, not where you would hit it with your hand), and job's a goodun.

Strips on the parcel shelf?

[McGherkin]

Yup. What provision have you made for taking the parcel shelf out?

Fair enough

Does that mod not just light the back of your head up and cast a huge shadow?

Edit: not implying that your head is huge :wink:

 

[McGherkin]

If you decide to stick your head under the far right side of the bootlid, yes. If you stand in the middle like a normal human it's fine
