boot lighting DIY guide

Post by logistix »

I put together this little guide about changing the boot light of the Polo with some super bright leds. Although it isn't very specific, it should give a rough idea about the project and the work involved.

Boot Light DIY

I hope you find it useful 8)

Ah right, Not to easy then, it would mean running a wire from Somewhere Mate, but then the problem of keeping it off when boot is shut, and on when boot is open, You suer you aint got one ? What type of car ?
