Boot light - Where is the fuse?
Have just been playing in the boot, fitting a few extra boot lights as I find the standard one to be in a stupid location, and not bright enough for my liking.
Anyway, all fitted fine, only I left the bulb in at one point when I was cutting the wire, and it popped the fuse.
Only thing is, I can't find which fuse!
I've been through the manual, and there is no mention of the boot light fuse.
Can anyone offer any ideas?
Many thanks

Get some pics up of how bright ur boot is now!!!
this task is on my things to do and i wanna see how others have done it
Lol.. will get pics up, once it's dark, and thethings work! lol.
Also fitted some nice xenon ultra power bulbs, so should all be matching.. just need to adjust the height of the headlights a little.
Just noticed that NONE of my interior lights are now working, the fronts, my footwells etc.. so there must be a fuse for the interior lights somewhere, but it's not listed..
Anyone?

Found it..
Just went out with a torch, removing each fuse 1 by 1. It's in the front somewhere, will note which one when I change it. Anyway, bunged a bent wire in it and the lights come on, so just off out to get a spare fuse.
Will post piccys up afterwards!
yay.

as luck would have it
went to the garage outside my place, with only £2.50 in my pocket. How much can fuses be?
they only have the older style blade fuses, the bigger ones...
but to get a 10 amp mini blade I would have had to buy a RING spare bulb kit for £8.Anyway, whilst looking at what else came with the bulb kit I found a 10 amp mini blade on the bottom of the shelf.. RESULT!
So spent my £2.50 on dinner, which you may be able to find in the pics below!
Can you spot my dinner in the last pic?
It's not the tidyest job I'd like to have done, but it's getting dark and I'm hungry!
i put another light in the boot and just used a vx standard one, and piggy backed the original fitting, ran the new feed for it around the boot liner to next to the right hand side boot pocket.....cut the hole and wham bang thankyou mam....i can see in the boot now.....a great little much needed mod indeed imo..
and pizza for tea...lol
I wanted to use an oem light fitting, but having lights at the front they always seem to get blocked by things in the boot, or by leaning and reaching into it.
Ideally I would like to have surfaced mounted these where they are, rather than cable tied, but it does the job, and is not noticeable unless you're lying in the boot.
An easy mod and about 30 mins all in. (spare the fuse searching! lol)
Looks good mate I may get this done in my week of mini modding at the end of the month
quick couple of pic's of mine....
think i might put some brighter lamp's in though
thats exactly what i was going to do ditchp.. Think i may go for something brighter though..
What voltage is the original boot light?
