Neons/LED's in the boot

[V1NNY]

Hi i want to put some neons/leds in the boot but i was thinking about wiring up to the boot light so they only come on when the boot is open, would this work or would there be any problems with doing this? thanks

Should be fine I think. If it blows your fuse though, just increase your boot light fuse (dunno if all interior lights run off same fuse) by 5amp. I've got 2 ecu's that are triggered by the boot light and not had any fusing problems

Thanks didnt think of that, i thought it would be much better than a switch

your not gonna be able to blow a fuse if you use led's, the power draw is so little (70mW)

i've got two neons running of the boot light switch, had no problems with them

Got any pictures of what it looks like? thanks all for your opinions

i've got 2 sets of the ones that came free with fast car in mine, works fine, i've not got a digi cam so i can't actually show you, a few of my none-car-obsessed mates think they're gay but i really like the glow!

i wouldn't advise doing this, putting too high ampage fuses in couldnt result in melting wires and causing a possible fire.

Yeah so would you all agree that maybe led's are the way to go then?

deffinately, and what derv said, you shouldnt increase your fuses because the cables are only designed for a certain ampage too.
