Hi everyone today I made an led light for my hatch to replace the existing bulb. It started off with a 12v torch that I got for free because the switch didn't work, it was fairly easy and actually a lot of fun. I have some pics for anyone who is interested.
The boot light removed
the led board from the torch I got (I also got about 3m of twin core cable that will come in handy for something else)
hacked up both sides of the circuit to length
Had to file out 2 little tabs there so the board can sit flush and centre
Had to also cut of 1 row of leds horizontal for it to fit nicely
Had to bridge the earths on the left hand side leds and bridge them to the leds on the right. Also attach the positive and negative to the existing prongs so I can still use factory plug
Didn't have to glue it in as the board was pretty tight and the negative prong holds it down
Plugged back into the boot
