I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Post by _drew » May 03, 2004

I have one in my hatch. It's actually a dome light from an eg.

Anyways...I wired it into the dome light and I set the switch to "off" so it doesn't come on with the front doors. it was trial and error to figure out which wire was which.

"Hey Kidkombo!" Do you have any more pics of that hatch? Like the interior or exterior.

well to power the trunk light you need to remove the rear passenger side panel to be able to tap to a plug located behind the panel.
once you have removed the panel there should be 2 plugs, one is grey and one is like brown. the grey plug is the one you will be tap'n. tap white wire with red stripe for constant 12v source and tap blue wire with black stripe for trunk latch switch which will be your ground wire. then connect the other ends of the wires to the trunk light. doesn't matter which wire goes to which on the trunk light. vwala! you have light!
