I’ve bought a few LED strips and I am looking to do the interior starting with the trunk. My car came with the LED interior package so my assumption was to tap the wires of the existing lights. Will that work?
Here are some pictures of the side light taken apart in the trunk. There are two wires leading to the connector, one is red and black and the other yellow. The LED strip I bought has a black and a red wire...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
If to do this right I should run separate wires and go to the fuse box I’m open to the idea and would like to know which fuses are best to use.
Black connector on stock LED light, next to new LED strip wire I need to connect Here is where I think I could tap into the wire going to the stock LED lights Oznium LED light strip
Thanks for the comments! I tapped into the trunk existing LED lights and everything worked out!
I used double sided tape to hold the Oznium LED strips, it came with small brackets and screws but I figured the tape would hold it for now. Here are some pics, DIY type thing for sure, it’s not hard to do. Wire tap on LED strip Once it started working Already installed with double sided tape, I left the OEM white led on...doesn’t wash out the blue at all Here is how the cargo area looks, now you don’t see the LED strip at all when you are standing Wire taps to OEM light
Nice! Can always use some more illumination in the trunk.
The LED strips look better and light up more of the trunk than the individual LEDs I used in my Audi.
Glad to see that it was an easy job.
Thanks guys for the comments, it was easy to do and it did make a big difference!
I thought the same thing that I could use more light in the trunk, I did leave the white OEM lights on.
I did buy some more LED strips and might try to install them on the door cubbies or under the dash.
I am in Weston, FL

check out the oznium website to see if they have something that will work for you.
Plus if it doesn't work out, you can remove them and maybe try something else.
I go to Naples a lot during the summer. It’s about an hour away for me, nice beach and great places to eat!
Those OEM center console lights got my attention, Oznium does offer flexible strips and a dimmer too. They have white and other colors so it’s just a matter of wiring it....probably to the cigarette lighter.
I went ahead and ordered the USB one color (blue) set....I am thinking of plugging it in under the arm rest and running it up and down the control panel in between the seats.
I chose this space since it seems to need about 36 inches to do, and the kit is about 39 inches long. I will take pics when I get it done. Here is the placing I have in mind
