photography does not do it justice. But pic 1 shows LOTS O LIGHT in the bay.
 Pic two is the LED strip. I ran it from the battery to the engine latch. Perfect place. Everything past the latch is blocked by the air filter of the L-jet anyway.  This view is from the rear trunk.  I wanted to have a switch to turn it on, but for now I just tapped into the OEM bay light. Only thing is, with the headlights on, this light is on. No biggie really tho. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here is another one you might not know. Key out, lights off. Move the turn signal lever up or down and leave it..... check the side lights and tail lights.... THEY COME ON. Turns out that is a design feature. Let's see who knows why. |
