Title: Boot light upgrade.
Post by: Skyrider on September 28, 2018, 09:22:29 PM
I have fitted one of these, a simple swap and very effective.

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.

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.
