Trunk LED Project Result

Cost: $4.75

I was tired of not being able to see anything in my trunk with that one bulb in the corner. So I decided to do something about it.

I know there's a DIY floating around here somewhere, I did this within 2 minutes. Literally.

I bought an LED strip for $4

and a T10 adapter for $0.75

Result:

I want to know about the adapter. I installed mine by wrapping the wires carefully, but a real adapter would be nice.

Please post a link to the adaptor and LED strip if you bought them online, if not then please post the model number or name for the adaptor.
Thanks,

Will do. I got it at a store, they have a website but I cannot find the product nor the same price on their site.

Just upgraded my trunk bulb as well. Picked up a four LED 5050 flat from eBay for 1.99 including shipping from HK. It's not as bright as yours but just plugs into the old bulb socket so it's a 10 second swap and I would say its at least twice as bright as stock.

My blue interior LEDs are on their way!
