quote: That switch is too short, so if yo uput it in, it wont turn the light off. The wiring for the rear bootlight is taped up in the loom for the rear light on the left hand side of the car. If you pull the small panel off, you should be able to get at it, otherwise you'll need to take the panel off, using a T25 Torx driver (£4.50 form halfords). There will be a connector block on the end of the wire, so you'll see it easy. Anyway, use two female blade connectors and push them over the two blades in the connector block. Simple :) Oh you'll need the boot switch of a car with the boot light already in it, or get one from Vauxhall (shouldnt be much). Rob :D | |

moddedcorsa: you could just get one of those alarm/courtesy light switches and put that in your boot, the switch only makes contact when the bar part is fully extended, so when the boot is closed, it will push down on the switch, break the contact, and turn the neon off. | |

got a stealth shelf in now, just lookin for something to finish off the bottom of it. Maybe gonna spray that bit white and fit a neon. The only thing puttin me off a neon is, i've only seen ones that connect to the lighter or battery. Is there any way u can get battery powered ones i.e. not the car battery, but a seperate battery for it. Anyone got any ideas? |
