So, I decided the other day that the factory lighting in the boot of the fiesta is abysmal, and that I wanted to do something about it. My initial plan was to instal a second light on the other side of the car, but I realised that that still wouldn't be great. After thinking for a while and looking at various options, I decided the best way to do it would be install them on the bottom of the parcel shelf, and it should be fairly simple to make them 'invisible' as there are some quite deep ridges on the shelf where they could be hidden, which would also help to aim them down when the boot was open.

So, I am currently in the planning stage, and the plan is to get a couple of LED strips, or anything else if anyone has any recommendations? Then to use a quick release connector wired into, and hidden next to the current light, so that if I need to remove the parcel shelf, I still can.

I have found some quick release connectors which seem perfect: http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/37/category/7 and since it will be hidden they don't have to look good.

Has anyone else done this? Or a similar boot lighting install to shed some wisdom?

I put some of these in the wife's Fiesta one under each side , they light up very well indeed.

They stick to the underside byt where the original light is.
