Tesla Model Y LED Trunk Light

[@JayGroh]

I got a cheap blue kit like this off amazon. It was just the light and the 12v adapter with a switch on it. Had to manually turn it on and off. I like this design with the magnet better except for the wire that could get snagged. My solution is a bit more involved but it looks more factory. The wire for the hatch light is located between the rear passenger door and the hatch. C pillar? Have to remove the passenger side of the trunk trim to access the wire harness. Its a yellow wire and there are I think 3 to choose from. I had to tap and probe to figure out wich yellow wire it was. Once found I tapped into it with a splice T splitter. Same with the ground wire. I ran that to the LED strip and directly to the seal. It turns on and off with the factory hatch LED and there are no wires visible. A bit more involved but it looks more factory and I'm not taking up the 12v socket.

How about showing it at night? Otherwise, it is accent lighting

Love this, but I installed a refrigerator into that back left compartment, and it uses that same outlet. So there’s no place left for me to plug it in. Oh well. Love the idea though.

[@jatuur4082]

does the refrigerator take a lot of the teslas battery?

[@mkskupa]

@@jatuur4082 No, it uses surprisingly little.

Great video but would have been better in the night time

Thanks. Agreed, will try to get some nighttime photos, unfortunately I was on a bit of a tight timeline, as I had to get the loaner back to Tesla!
