Chimaera boot light

[rickprice]

Anybody found a good boot light system for the Chim yet? Its getting on my wick a bit.

I have a series II MX5 with a beautiful bit of kit in it - halogen, tiltswitch, etc. from MX5parts. But I'm not sure how I could fit one to the Chim neatly.

Has anyone got/know of a decent mod for the Chimaera?

Go into Homebase lighting section. I picked up (for about a fiver), a small Philips LED, battery operated light with built in PIR sensor. It can be 'stuck' to the carpet lining with self adhesive Velcro (as I've done), or fixed with screws etc. The two piece unit is held together by means of magnets (sounds weird I know, but it's a clever & simple bit of engineering), so changing the batteries is a doddle - no need to remove fixing from car. It's light weight so won't fall off, & gives adequate lighting in the boot as soon as you put your hand into the space. I think it's brill (if you parden the pun), & at that price you can fit a couple if you want more illumination. Minimum hastle to fit is the big plus though !

David Beer does a kit which we've had in the Griff for about 4 years now, ask for 2 lights as its better with one either side. They velcro onto the carpet either side of the boot lid and connect into the wiring loom.
As usual with Davids kits easy solution to a PITA problem.
