Courtesy light feed in boot

If I do a light upgrade for mine I'll let you know and if you get there first, give me a shout!!

Will keep you posted
Re the LJ you need to talk with Nat Ham from Difflock if its still going great lad and knows them well.
Here he is


I had no money and Suzukis where my only option in the 4x4 world

The blue one I swapped for a high spec Warn 8274 winch, sold it to fund taking the kids to Florida, the green was just built as bits came along but mainly standard and performed very well

It is but still too dark in the boot I wanted to fit a small LED strip, just so much easier if I can piggyback it to the boot lid cables

I just added a LED strip across the boot and piggy backed iyt on the existing wiring. I didn't get the really bright ones though, the slightly smaller ones. Might be 2525? it lights the whole boot up beautifully.

Got a strip of waterproof 5050 LED's across the hatch on mine, also linked off the (useless) standard light. It's like daylight in the boot

Of course if you are parked up on the road unloading the boot in hours of darkness, some copper may take exception to you showing a bright white light to the rear. It ain't allowed.

I got a LED light unit from eBay (powerful_uk I think). It cost a bit more than I'd have liked at 13 of my pounds, but it is the brightest thing in the universe and super easy to install since it was made to fit exactly in the old housing using the old wiring.

May be different here, tractors are required to have rear facing spotlights to illuminate whatever they have hanging off the 3 point.
Also the LED's are facing down/into the boot and so the strip is not visible.

If that is the case then the bestway to brighten your boot is with some unleaded and a box of Swan Vestas

Oh no I mentioned the unmentionable !
I promise never to mention the removal of all the technology and replacing it with 4 springs.
