Safety mod?
I saw a cool little feature on my brother's BMW 745 ... I little red light to warn other driver's when the trunk is open ... made me think, with some of the crash stories lately, we don't have anything if you're stopped on the side of the dark road, so I looked through some accessories at my brother's shop and came across these ... LED's use low voltage, so no battery issues ... spliced into the cargo light on the right side (install took 5 minutes)
Very thin ...
Stuck it on ...
Looked clean ...
And very functional ...
Be safe everyone ...
Dave Q.

That is really nice Dave, thanks for thinking about us. BTW, looks like it is time to clean out the garage.

Not sure. I think your local auto parts or accessories shop may have them. Just look for the flat, Ultra Bright LED Strip.
