Trunk Lighting Improvement
I did not like the OEM trunk lighting because it was basically blinding me at night time. It was also not working for my setup so I needed some improvements. What I did was:
1. Installed a light on the lid. Used BMW LED luggage compartment lamp 63312348803. This thing lit up the interior and surrounding of the rear as a floodlight.
2. Installed a mini switch to the OEM trunk light.
3. Installed trunk light with a switch on the right side of the trunk. This was a little bit tricky since i needed to put some padding to lift the textile lining.
I used 25' each black and red 18 gauge stranded wire. If you do only the the trunk light you can go with 10 feet of wire. I recommend to measure first. I could achieve the same result with only red wire for positive and using the car body for negative but I wanted to do it as OEM as possible, meaning installing switches on the negative wire.
