LED Trunk lights
 

Due to my ICE install in the trunk, the bass box obstructs the factory trunk light. Therefore I decided to install some 5mm superbright white LED's into the side panels. The result is quite OEM. From standing height, you cannot see the LED's un-less they are on (as they are mounted facing the floor).

Here are some pics:

nice subs! i have the same one on my fit as well - blaupunkt th series - i love blaupunkt :)

Yeah, the TH 12" is a great all round sub if size matters. I have heard much better sounding subs, but for an encloser as small as the TH 12", the bass rocks. It won't rumble real low, but what music does. The system is set up for quality rather than out right bass.....

At night you get enough light to see your trunk contents. I would do some night pics, but everywhere I park (work or home) I have street lighting so it's not a real true pic of the light it produces.

On a side note, I also installed 2 led into the top half of the glovebox as we have no lights there. At the moment it is just wired to the lights on, but there is some stray light coming from the shutlines of the glove box lid. Ordered some small pin switches and will get one wired up so that the lights only come on the lid open. When it's all done, I'll post some pics.... You can do the bottom part too, this would be very easy, but I have the DVD unit for the Sat Nav in the bottom, so don't need lighting.
