A couple weeks ago one of the others installed CFLs in the trunk, thought I'd give it a try. I was thinking of doing the same under the hood but one of the power packs was dead. So that will be delayed a bit.

The install made a nice difference.

BTW, the wife wasn't happy with the ride on the lowered K-Sport coil overs. I pulled them and went back to stock. If anyone is interested PM me.

I picked up the wiring at the stock connector plug. The Red/yellow stripe is the 12v lead. The green is your Switched Ground.



For the moment I left the stock bulb functioning in original socket.


I mounted a bulb on either side of the speaker. Simple enough with Velcro. There is a power pack/inverter that mounts nearby w/ velcro. Sorry forgot to take a pic.



Put the fuse back in and fired her up

 

wow, looks very clean and i like the natural looking color of the light.

matches the car color lol

 

Looks best with 2 of them hehe

Instead of connecting the wires up like that, go to your local Radio Shack and find the "wire tap-in squeeze connectors". Those expose the wire beneath the rubber and send the electricity to the transformer. They work very well compared to your method, which I can't say is very safe...nor a solid connection...

I used these connectors in an 07 Camry LED door sill mod for my girlfriend as well. Been working perfectly ever since

those wires look soldered to me, standard practice is to wrap it up with electrical tape afterwards.

 

Hmm, if it is, I can't really tell. Not to nitpick but my solder joints aren't like that. My mistake if it is...
