I know that an integra trunk light will fit in to a spot that is covered up with a blocker in the EK Hatch trunk. Has anyone done this? Where did you wire it up to? My friend gave me the light out of his integra before it was stolen. Someone give me directions please. Thanks

 

lol .. I did this.. was a pain in tha **** but iloved it!! unfortunately when I took out the panels I did not find a plug there to make it "plug and play" .. so I just had to wire mine up to a wire that was "hot" all the time. I had already hooked up a wiere for my strobes straight to the battery with a fuse... so I tapped into that line for the power and grounded the other side... hardest part was taking all the freaking panels off... hope this helps!

here's a pic:

i'm interested in doing this too. i have the trunk light out of a 98 coupe and i want to stick it in my hatch in the blank hole thingy on the left panel.

 

I know there aren't any plugs in there, I've checked myself. I can't see the pic. I just want to know where people are getting their power source from.

 

actually there is a plug that runs to back there. it stops about where your rear seat back latch is. it has a pin for the light. only thing is the male pin on the other side of the connector is not there. you will have to get out your manual figure out which pin it is then swipe a male pin from somewhere else and put it in the plug. i used a pin from the harness on my seats for the seatbelt light. you will run your hot wire from this pin to the light, and your ground to any ground point. that was how we did the light in mine

 

Hey Snail... are you talking about the orange connector that faces towards the front of the car? I was wondering what that was for .. lol

 

nah it was a grey plug. i think they show it in the haynes manual

 

I wonder what those orange connectors are for then..? Anyone know?

So I just need to take out my rear seat to find this plug?

 

Hey, I just took out my rear seats. All I found was the "Orange" connecter that was sitter there. There's one on each side. Where exactly is this "Grey" wire?
