Does anyone know if the trunk light in our cars always stays on, or only turns on when the trunk is open?

 

put ur phone with ur camera on and shut the trunk then open it. u'll find out if it shuts off or stays on

 

I was thinking to do that but I'm too lazy to get my *** off the couch

 

Its only supposed to turn on when the trunk is open. But u gotta check yours specifically because you mite possibly have an issue with your car.

 

I'm thinking of putting a 7W cree LED in there, but I want to make sure its only on when trunk is open, otherwise it'll fail shortly.

 

SO many ways to check man. Get in side, have one [you trust] close it and look. Put a camera in there, phone as said etc... If it stays on, check the switch, its in the locking mechanism (on the butt, not the lid)

 

Obviously its On when trunk is open, otherwise its gonna drain your battery

 

As to not state the obvious, I've made the stupid assumtion he's thinking theres a problem... If not, then yea, its just a stupid question.

 

Wait, I just re read the question... ^^^ Was correct! LoL
