LED Trunk Lighting Upgrade
Wired a total of 5 feet of white LED Strip in my trunk. 1x3x1. Just wired to factory light. The factory light was on the left side and was honestly pathetic. They couldn't even center it in the trunk. Now I have plenty of light to say the least.

Ours had a tiny 194 bulb. I thought it was underpowered so I put in a 921 bulb. Went from 3 to 18watts which was a nice bump in illumination. The LED wedge types are a bit longish and don't secure into the socket in ours very well. I tried but due to the road vibrations and bumps, it falls out. I don't want it to fall out and get broken/damaged.

Don't necessarily need THAT much light, but if I am going to do it, I might as well go all out. I should have taken a before pic. But I just a had warm white cylindrical fuse bulb about 1" big on the left side. It barely lit the trunk dimly.

EDIT: figured I'd take the chance on the Deal extreme bulbs. 12X5050 LED's. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. hoping it turns out like Dutchies.
