Installed some LED strips in the boot of the ///MR
One of my Xmas projects for the M roadster was to improve the dreadful lighting in the boot.
Installed some of these:

Tapped into the original bulb wiring and ran the cables at the top, you can see them in one of the pics. All soldered and heat shrinked neatly, wires hidden
I think it works quite well

Not related at all, but I couldn't resist posting a picture of the two beauties!

The LEDs are a vast improvement and an easy mod. If you haven't replaced your interior ones you should as these are an easy mod too

I'll be making up some kits again in the next few weeks. Connector mates with the boot light, same shape as the one on the lens cover.
