Nice. Way better than what I have in mind. I was just gonna put a tap light on the trunk lid with some 3m tape.

Now I know what I am going to do with that white LED strip I have laying around in my garage. I didn't even think of that. You could even incorporate a momentary switch (like a fridge light) so it turned on automatically when you opened the trunk.

NOW thats what I'M talkin about!:clap:

 

[brutus450]

just about exactly what I'm about to do. But I am with Spydergirl, I am going to do a momentary switch so it comes on when you pop the trunk

Very cool! But, if I open the truck in the dark, I will just use the switch on the right of the bars that shines the headlights into the truck.

Tis great for looking at the stuff on top,,, but, how do you use both hands and still keep the light on, without using tape?:joke:

Small Maglite in the pocket in the trunk liner, turn it on, stick it in your mouth if you need both hands. Works for me! Also useful for looking at other places on the Spyder, or for finding what you dropped on the ground. Try to do that with a dedicated trunk light.

Bingo! And, it would be wise for all of us take this good bit of advice. I have thought about that, myself. If you get out somewhere at night, and have a flat, or some other issue, having a little flashlight might come in real handy!

Thanks Scotty! :thumbup:

I have one of those flashlights that don't need batteries, you just wind it up. Those are perfect to keep in the trunk of vehicles for emergencies.
