Default Fix - dim trunk light

The OEM trunk lighting is DISMAL.

Just an FYI, to get a LOT more light in the trunk, replace the bulb with a LED panel. The difference is like "night and day".

The LED panel just replaces the existing light bulb and has double-sided tape to stick to the underside of the trunk.

I actually wired 2 of these panels together, but using one panel is still a lot of light output.

If you ever find that you need brighter bulbs in your car I suggest vleds.com They have the brightest leds ive ever seen and more importantly they last.
I havnt had much luck with buying bulbs off ebay. As the ones I get have worse output and go out within a year. They are cheap though!
