Where is trunk light in new 2014 Spyder RTS & Linited

[spyder-dude]

According to the comparison on spyder.brp.com they are supposed to have trunk light and liner. I am not finding a light in my RTS.

Anyone else find one?

the trunk they are referring to is the frunk

open the frunk and turn the key on, the light will be that little white spot in the frunk.

you may have to do this in the dark

Mine has it right where it is supposed to be. In the frunk.

Truthfully; it's not exactly the best light that i've ever seen... :shocked:
(Left side of the inner Frunk panel; up toward the front... it's hidden in a bit of a recess.)

I have found my frunk light. Better then nothing.

Truthfully; If you have your frunklid open wide, and the lowbeams on; you get a decent amount of reflected light landing where it's ALMOST useful!

:agree: I keep buying little AAA-powered, LED flashlights, and hiding them all over the bike! :2thumbs:

I keep a small Maglite in the front and a stick-up LED in the rear. I had to have Lamont lead me to the trunk light when I got my first RT.

I have a new 13 RT Limited and didn't know it had a light until I had the aux turned on, then I saw the light in the Right front of the frunk. It doesn't illuminate unless the key is on (at least on mine)

Ours was behind the upholstery / liner. Agree with having the lights on.

I kind of cheaped out, Harbor Freight has this 27 LED lights that are battery powered and bright. Pretty inexpensive.

One in the front and one in the back.

I didn't want to risk $65 to add a frunk light to my base RT and then find out it was wimpy. I'll post in a few days how I added a really nice LED light to my frunk, rear trunk, and saddlebags, for less than $30 total.

Since you almost need a flashlight to find the frunk light and see if it is on I am anticipating some good ideas.opcorn:

Kewlmetal has a bunch of LED lights available, that they market as being for this specific purpose... :2thumbs:

 

[bertmc]

Does the '12 RT Limited have one? I've never seen it. Too cold to go out to my detached garage to look!

I just posted about my LED project in the RT ShopTalk section.

What is the feasibility of replacing the lamp with one of higher power and making it useful?

 

[mtdoragary]

OK, I just pulled out the trunk liner and checked with ignition on, ignition and lights, on, engine running, and I do NOT have a light in my frunk. Now I have to remember where I found the high power grommet mount LED's that I used in the cabin of my boat, so that I can install them in all my trunks.

Since I don't have one and used a different approach, I can't say for certain but I believe the location of the light and how it points down is as much of a problem as its brightness.

Here's what I did. Really lights up the frunk! http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...I-brightened-up-my-trunk-frunk-and-saddlebags!
