Yes, but the website is still active.

I ended up getting the Honda one from Cox to be safe. Not on their website but can be ordered on request.
Let's be careful out there !

The only upgrade I'd like for my Jazz boot light is a switch to select it on or off.

I haven't had a need for the switch, but I can think of situations where it would be needed. I have replaced original incandescent bulb with a 4000K LED, which has sufficient brightness. Bbut still the left side of the items in the boot remain dark. Therefore I have got parts to add another light on the left hand side, and at the same time I will replace the original one with the one with a switch, which is fully plug in replacement.

covered this previously, here is info;

Item from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000140278040.html @ £6.44 delivered from China of course.

I did try fitting an LED bulb in place of the cap less existing but found it just to hard to push home.

I put one of these w5w LEDs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382894921689 in my Crosstar. The other 9 are in a drawer somewhere a bit of a waste but the pack of 10 was only £3.95 two years ago. It is much brighter than original bulb as well as using less power.

I ended up buying the Honda one because it was labelled as 'canbus friendly' or something like that. Decided to play safe.

I find the original light adequate, but this may be because I seldom park outside the range of street lights,  or unload anything at night  other than a suitcase. 

I remember an old village  dweller who said you can spot   Londoners, because they whistle when its dark .  They have seldom experienced 'real' dark and get nervous . -possibly with good cause.  While those  raised in a village may be happier walking in pitch dark, with little more than a small torch.
