Trunk Lights - Round 2 I had previously installed CCFL tubes on the sides of the trunk to add some light, but one broke and I decided to replace them with LED strips and move where they were mounted.
Previous Setup:

New Lights:
Tapped into the Dome Light and held in place with 3M Trim Mounting Tape.
(all pics are without flash except for the one that says it has flash)
Mounted in recess in hatch for the trunk flap.
It is not dark out in these pics, its just starting to get dark.
Full view of the trunk and hatch area.
Holding flap up and looking into the trunk.
Looking up where the lights are mounted.

Great idea. It isn't super visible but it would probably look a lot cleaner if you could possibly recess the light strip into the panel. Maybe cut the strip of the plastic out, and put the lights behind where the cut is. More stealthy I guess.

Looks good! I'm not sure I would want to do that to my interior panels, especially since mine is not a daily and I don't really drive it all that much. If you're looking for a factory style setup, a friend of mine, upon seeing the trunk light in my old 97 convertible, went and got a trunk light lens housing, bulb, and wiring off of a convertible and put that in his coupe. It was pretty helpful and looked factory.

Any pics of the convertible trunk light you're talking about? I'm having a hard time finding any pics of them in general.
