Just wanted to post up the results of a few lighting mods on my HDi Estate.
First was under mirror LED White puddle lights, wired into the phase 3 courtesy light circuit.
They are very bright and look sweet, come on when car is unlocked or door opened, they stay on till ignition, time out or car locked. Great if you drop something or in the dark old countryside!
The next is LED floodlights in the boot lid, this one is very effective (probably more useful than the first
)
The lighting in the boot is appalling, as I'm sure you have all noticed, especially without the courtesy lights on. The estate is particularly bad, if you put anything big in the boot you get plunged into darkness! I really wanted to fix this so added these lights.
These are wired into the boot open microswitch.
