Having got fed up with the light in the boot being blocked out every time you put things in there and inspired by the ikea light mod ( thanks to xtd5 for technical confirmation) I decided to have a go at sorting something out.
As I wasn't sure how well things would work out I bought a section of flexible led strip off ebay from hong kong for 99p for a first trial. Well today I fitted it to the rear head lining with Velcro, wired it up to the existing boot light running the wires behind the d pillar trim and under the edge of the roof lining, and have to say that I am really impressed with it.
It makes such a difference and also lights up the ground at the back of the car, it's so good that it will be staying as it is, no need for a mk 2 version.
Just a couple of poor quality phone pics.

Ha, have done almost exactly the same thing this weekend, but using a couple of quid aluminium framed cob led drl from the bay! 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
2004 HSE Td4 Auto, MT's, sump guard, sliderz - gone
2014 GS Man - AT's, Mantec Sump guard and tank guard, split charger in boot, towbar, work in progress...

Its a simple thing but makes a real difference doesn't it.
I was going to get a set of those but wasn't sure if they would be too heavy to Velcro to the head lining , although I did think about one on each d pillar however I now realise that might have been too bright.
What do you think about the quality and brightness of them, as I still may get a set but for another project.

Currenlty velcroed, but likley I'll run some fine wire round it to keep it in place...

That's a good bright light, I think I will get a set of those for another little project.

That is a big improvement. I think there'll be a few of us giving that a go

Saw this post and was inspired to do my own mod with a 12volt led kitchen down lighter ...This gives out excellent light and looks ok as well I think . Light from amazon £8.99.
