Boot Lighting
« on: 30 October 2009, 17:11:04 »

Ive noticed recently (as it gets darker earlier) That i have no Lighting in my boot. Should there be some kinda light in there as its pretty dark? Woulda thought that a car like the omega would have a lil light atleast in the boot.
If not, im gunna have to hook a light up i think.

It's in the middle where Enfield says, and the switch for it is on the edge of the boot lid IIRC  :y

Vauxhall have had their money out of the moulding, it's the same as the Omega's glove box lamp and every boot lamp on every Vauxhall/Opel I've ever had  .....  :y  :y IIRC it was used in the Cavalier/Ascona/Manta as a courtesy lamp  ....... I'm sure the Manta lads will correct if need be!  ;)  ;)

Carefull when you remove it, it's easy to short the live to earth ...... (zero volts for the electrickery boys! ::))
