Miata Mods and Upgrades – A Quickie

Yesterday I installed an LED light strip in the trunk of the Miata.

The stock light is in the rear wall, down low and doesn’t illuminate the trunk at all if you have anything in it.

On the Miata forum people were talking about putting additional light into the trunk using these LED strip lights.

I removed the interior plastic so I could run a set of wires from the existing light location to up under the front lip. There was a nice place that was a perfect fit to stick the LED strip up with double-stick tape. I cable tied the new wires to the existing harness that runs around the trunk and spliced them into the wires for the existing light.

A pretty easy mod and it turned out great!
