I'm doing a DIY project, fixing up my trunk for a simple display of the amp and sub. I'm going to get LEDs to add some life in the trunk. Where do I wire it to? Straight to the battery??? Or...to the fuses?? I'm lost..

If you're going to use high wattage consumption light, then you have to wire it straight from the battery.

Thanks. I was trying to do that earlier, but, I guess my dome wiring is out and not working. It's not recieving any juice. I'm going to have an electrician trace that tomorrow and get it working..I don't have a volt reader and the tools to do that. Then I'll install the LEDs myself. I was thinking of wiring it to my antenna or tail lights...but, then that would mean it would be on when the radio is on n when the car's lights are on. I only want it on when the trunk is open.
Thanks for the input! hopefully I can get this solved.

My friend installed two additional lights on my w123 trunk, sa corners nung trunk above the tail lamps. He tapped the dome light wiring, and added a switch para buksan lang kapag kailangan talaga, and I have the option to turn them on if needed. It's also completely reversible too. ;)

May 28th, 2007 11:30 PM #6If you want to add life i also suggest putting simple neon lights. If you want I can send a picture of mine just give me your email. Bali yung akin, nakatap sa dating light ng trunk ko yung neons. 2 parang dirty white yung color and tago cya.
Choice I would have made as well.:nod:
2024 Innova Zenix 2.0 V CVT (non-HEV) vs Innova...
