The astra only comes with 1 boot light, but if you look at the opposite side you will notice a hole for another light. Order another bulb unit which only cost me £2.86 (that is cost price though) and buy some wire from eBay or wherever you want. Ive attached the packet the bulb came in so u no the part number. Then u just run the wire from one side to the other hiding it behind the trim and panels and hey presto. A nice cheap easy modification and double the light in the boot!

This is on go do list but I was going to use these

Bit more expensive and some minor mods required but the light output is alot better.

Could you add a photo of lights please?

As you can see ive added another boot light to the left. But i have also added an led strip to the inside lip of the car to brighten it up more. The total price was less than £6 for the extra light and led strip.

No need for them. Too expensive and you will get about the same light output from these bulbs.

Final result looks very nice!
So, both lights and the led strip are all connected to the same power feed (the original lamp)?
Is the boot light can-bus controlled?

Thanks! No the boot isnt canbus, and as far as im aware none of the interior lights are. The number plate bulbs are though as i have 2 bulbs in it the now and im getting an error message. Have ordered the ones listed above so that should sort it.

Yes ive used the power feed for the origional bulb unit and connected the led strip and other bulb unit to it. Im not great with electrics but was told because im using leds it uses less power and is ok. All my interior bulbs have been changed to led also. Ive got 4x 15cm led strips im going to wire under my front and rear footwells. There will be pics when ive done that too.

 

[astramaster]

Thanks.
Keep going on those good ideas.

How did the footwell LEDs turn out? Also is the wire required for the boot light a single or double, sorry if it seems silly I don't get my car tool next week so can't check

Not started on the footwell lights. Been on call at work so not had a minute. The boot light is a double wire.

 

[carlroger]

Looks great! Where did you place the LED strip in the boot?

 

[DCX]

Footwell lights, if anyone is going to add this in. This is what it looks like in Red.

Are those plugged in via the cigarette lighter 12v?

 

[LasseMandrup]

Are you able to link to cables, that will fit with the lamp? I guess, that I need to connect it via a split cable on the other boot light? But I am in doubt about connectors?

 

[DCX]

They are linked upto the head liner lighting used twin core black cable as I have black headliner so once door opens etc the light activates the same way. Very simple installation really so visible wiring at all.no canbus error either

Can you post some photos of your wiring and where to connect the cables?

 

[DCX]

Of course, I will try to get some images tomorrow of the wiring.

What boot net are you using? Are they GM or aftermarket?
Thanks!

Hey, I'd also like to know what kind of nets are those and how did you install them, especially the one on the side. I've got all kinds of stuff lying around in trunk and I dont want to buy raised floor since it makes the trunk smaller. Opel only seems sells one net for horizontal placement on the trunk floor which is not that useful for me.
