Boot Light

[VKapur1986]

I had a search for this and yes I did find an existing topic but it didn't answer my question..

Is there only 1 501bulb in the boot??

That's the only one I could find in the lil' plastic cage lol.. So i've replaced that with a white one I had lying around but it's still is proper dim!!

So i'm wondering why are there alot more holes present on each side of the 501 in the boot???! Has anyone done any mods regarding boot lighting? Pics would be great!

Cheers

Yep just one bulb, I've added more light to my boot. Bought two 48 LED strips off eBay so now have a 96 LED boot light which can be seen from space I believe when I open the boot at night! Lol just kidding, it's ridiculously bright though, and only took me about 20 mins to fit :)

Did you just run those off of the existing loom for the boot light?

Yep, but I added an inline fuse and diode to prevent any problems.

Nice Job @ Parthiban!. I'm no good at connecting up looms etc so i'm gonna have to order the LED strips and get my electrician to do this lol

That's a cargo net- you can slide stuff underneath it to stop things rolling around when driving- I've also got one, I slide my laptop bag underneath the net to stop it rolling all over when driving.

I got my net from Lexus Birmingham's eBay shop for £10.

Exactly as Kam said, it's the OEM horizontal cargo net, great for holding shopping in place :winky:

Unfortunately I got mine when I bought the car and it cost somewhere around £50 but it seems now it's a lot cheaper :)

I simply fitted a bigger watt 501 bulb. It has a bigger dome and you have to remove the cage from over it but its very bright. Will get the bulb number if anyone wants it. It does leave the bulb exposed without the cage but if anything in your boot is going to hit it and break it i dont think the cage would stop it anyway.

Anybody know the part number for this cargo net? The ppl working at my local Lexus dealer are very very lazy (and apparently incompetent) and don't know what I'm on about...

Thanks!

I haven't got the part no, but can't you print off this thread (as it has a picture of said cargo net) and take to your local Lexus dealer?
