kind of where the boot light hangs arround.

What type of light bulb fits there anyways?

Mine came with no bulb. I tried a couple of types, but no luck.

It's just a wegde-bulb... Not sure on the name of the size, but the bulb part is rather large.

Might want to put a multimeter onto the socket to test for power?

Hey RANDY,

I just checked the socket. Getting a good reading, 12.5v +.

So what type of bulb? How many watts?

Did i mention..... I LOVE THIS FORUM !!! It goes off :PBJ:

[RANDY]

Ermm... i'll get back to you tomorrow... or tonight if I go downstairs for a smoke, and i'm able to yank it out without burning my fingers.

But really, as long as the wedge part fits, and it's a 12v globe, it will light up. I bought my car with no globe, so what I come back to you with will just be what I have decided to run.

I will be changing to a white neon or fluro stick in the near future. The globe assembly doesn't give off much light, even at higher wattages.

[Munkyb0y]

I tired 2 different 12v globes. Neither worked.

Hmmm, neon sounds promising.

[RANDY]

Here you go!

[Munkyb0y]

Thanks Randy,

That looks like the one i tried.

confused.

[Munkyb0y]

Ok, let me just start by saying, I'M AN IDIOT !!!

The bulb i just put in works fine. I guess last time i tried it was after i'd finished pulling my dash out, and had my interior light swutched 'OFF'. It never occured to me that this switched my boot light off aswell. I guess that's what happened anyway. Do'h !!!

Anyways, all good now.

Still think i'll end up going with a Fluro in the boot.

Thanks again Randy.

[RANDY]

Ah! Yes... when you open your door, the boot light actually turns on (I can always see mine through the vents in the parcel shelf) So if it's off, the boot stays off.

Glad you sorted it out!
