JK - LED light to Hard Top Hatch glass

[Wallyd]

U could also power it from the demister, where you turn on the demister and on they go

I don't know how practical that would be in use. Those cable tie pads are stuck to the demister "bus". I forgot that the demister generates heat before I did it so hopefully the heat doesn't affect the adhesive. Whoops. In any case I don't expect the wide part it's on will get very hot anyway - it's the small size of the demister tracks that gives them the high resistance that generates the heat.

It's not hard to get the cable through the hard top. Just push a nut on a string in the top hole. Hiding the wire in the loom tube and under the carpet is even easier again.

Cool mod, quality write up.

The photos don't really do it justice. It is very effective, you certainly won't lose things in the boot now. The shadow under the rear bumper probably gives the best indication possible without seeing it for yourself (which you can do any time).

You could also place the led's taped to the lower part of the windo, so when you open the door, the projection is parrallel to the glas, sending most of the illumination into the car, rather than pointing down and out away from the car as you have fitted it.... trial and error. I'll study it when I get it and give results

I like that sport for the light, its always hard to find things in the jeep at night. i have been thinking about putting some more light inside just couldn't work out where

I have similar lights under mine as i found 4wding at night a little hard not having light around the wheels.

Nice. What did you use and how did you mount them?
