Hrmm.. okay, so as I went outside tonight to remove some things from my trunk.. I quickly realized I had no light to see the things I needed. So after fumbling with my cellphone for 10 minutes trying to find things I come back into my room & think to myself how nice it would be to have a light in my trunk/trunklid. So my question is, has anyone here attempted it? Anyone done it? I was wondering maybe there is a wire Icould connect to inplace already that senses when the trunk is open(with remote start, douptful, but maybe) or I could use a hood/trunk pin from an alarm system. Anyhow. Just my 2 cents for the night.

 

Both my 95 Civic Dx and my current 97 Ex both have lights in the trunk. You could find a domelight from a junk yard and run a power wire and such to it, and turn it on/off as needed.

 

I would wire up a pin switch that would turn the light on only when its open cause your gonna forget to shut it off eventually.

 

couldnt you also tap into the domelight power and run it parallel to that? OR maybe even use the trunk open/close switch? I dunno

 

yeah i was thinking the pin switch would be my best option.

 

Here you go. I'm planning on doing it to mine.
