FS: LED Trunk light kit for 2003-2008 convertible / roadsters

[mattgecko]

2003 - 2008 Z4 convertible - Trunk LED light kit

I use ultra bright Cool white (6000k) HID colored LED's strip.

LED TRUNK LIGHT KIT - $30
includes USPS First class shipping (USA)
International shipping, please add $12

LED strip has a 3 foot wire harness soldered on and includes adhesive squares, zip ties and T-tap connectors.

The install:
Clean the under side of the trunk lip and install the LED strip (I use upgraded adhesive tape on all of my LEDS), add adhesive square and zip tie, unplug the existing truck light and install the "T tap connectors and with the new light strip wires.












Thanks for looking and happy motoring!

looks good, is it easy to connect to existing wiring?

Currently I am using "T-tap connectors" but searching for a female plug that will fit the OEM trunk light male plug.

The install is pretty straight forward, unplug the existing trunk light push the tape back exposing the 2 wires and add the T-tap connector.

Looks impressive and it's certainly bright

I've done the same but $42 is well OTT, it only cost me about £5 inc postage for the self-adhesive ribbon LED from eBay - Stu Boy and Lynchy were looking at it during our Shepshed weekend

That's a good price Perry

Pretty steep for a kit posted to the UK but GLWTs.

This is what you need for the boot light end.

And this is what you need for the LED Strip:

This is the sort of thing I got but a bit cheaper - the seller I got mine from has disappeared - £3.95 inc postage for a 1m strip, then you just have to connect to the boot light - you can use the sort of thing that Scooba_Steve posted but I soldered a short tail onto the boot light and crimped bullet connectors to connect up the strip, all wiring hidden behind the boot lining

I've got two strips, ordered white and they supplied blue. Complained obviously so got the whit set.

Me being me though still waiting to be fitted.

I thought the boot bulb was still a festoon type bulb.

Mine is w5w type
I think all the ones on my interior are

[srhutch]

Must have a look

[markplant]

In think I shall be ordering some of that

[mattgecko]

When I joined this site I didn't notice that most members and not in the USA, so yes the light kit isn't work paying the international shipping.

[srhutch]

Not just the shipping. We've picked the led strips up for about $6

yup same bought a strip on ebay for less than a fiver and wired it into the excisting boot light on the right hand side, 15min job, didn't use connectors etc just stripped the wire and added it to the bulb connections
