Cargo area light bulb upgrade?

[firsthonda]

What size and type of LED bulb is best for this application?

[Cobb]

194 I got a 6 led one in white with the leds on one side since the bulgb sits vertically in the socket.

WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs with High Power SMD LEDs

T3-1/4 (#194/16 type bulbs with High Power SMD. Wide Angle LEDs up to 120 degrees. 12 Volt DC operation.

Is this the description for the one you used?

Thanks Cobb. I'm going to order one and give it a try. The stock bulb is just too dim for the cargo area.

Hey dude, did this end up working for you? My IN2 doesn't come w/a trunk light (I'm from Malaysia)... so I'm lookin' @ installing one on my own.

Ive seen many universal touch lights and cargo lights here in America. My first thought was to recommend buying the US lamp if you have a vent in the rear and swap it out.

yeah, i have the same plastic placeholder on the left.. should be able to easily swap that out w/a proper US lamp.

Any idea where I could order one online and ship it over? (I tried using search terms "insight boot light", "insight boot lamp" etc but couldn't find any leads)...

i got my boot lamp installed today... finally! went with a 12-LED set. fits snugly in the spot where the boot lamp should be. shines a brilliant whitish/blueish light:





I'll get more shots up @ nite one of these days... w/my SLR. Much easier to get an accurate idea of the light output

Wow, looks oem. Does it work with the hatch or do you have a button somewhere? Like the 2 tone plastic trim, mines is all grey including the seats and carpet.
