VWR Lupo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Think you will struggle to fit a boot light, you will some how need to fit a switch that turns the light on when you open the boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunalupi Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I fitted one to my Arosa I used a reverse switch (as in one that is off when pressed, and on when not pressed) fitted to one of the rear plastic sections which switched it off when the boot was closed.I took the live feed from the back of cigarette lighter, and ran the wires behind the dash, along the plastics under the doors, and so into the boot.Doesn't work anymore though since my cigarette lighter mysteriously stopped working...

lupoluke Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 If you have an amp in the back, i would use the live feed off that, just dont forget to put a fuse in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unheard Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 There is already a live feed that could be utilised at the back. The wiring for the light in the headlining at the front runs all the way to the back before going forward again under the headlining.
