    dual trunk lights

    Has anyone done this? I havent found anything on this. There is another rectangle the exact same size opposite the original one in the deck lid. I think it would be great to add another light and put led's in there as well and that would make your trunk way bright when you need it. Anyone?

      I did it to mine, i also put in the early backing plates for the tails. Since they have a clear window to let light into the trunk when the tail lights are on.

          It's two wires, a + and a -. When you get the extra light, get the pig tail that goes with it (make sure it's long enough to reach the other light). And just splice into the wires on the other trunk light.

              nice, I like. Now why didnt BMW just do that to begin with! Did you do that yourself? It looks clean, I would like to see how you did it.

BALLA!

                        And you know they were originally meant to have two lights, because the trunk lid liner already has the cut out for the second light:



                        It's a crappy pic, I know, but you get the idea.

                            is that trunk liner factory optional?
