I'm trying to tap into the trunk light

[20ducks]

I attached the correct wires to the positive/negative but no juice. What is the wire in the middle supposed to do?

This is a photo of the back of the existing trunk lamp....very anemic to say the least.

Bueller?

Well, f*ck me, I thought there were some Mustang experts...guess not.

OK “expert”, why the hell are you tapping into the circuit board of this little LED instead of using the plug and wire harness that goes into the light?

I don't see any wires in this pic...
And yes, it is a very weak light.

Just buy the older trunk light that used a halogen bulb. Part number: cv6z-13776-A

Got it. And use the existing power connector to it?

First of all I didn't tap into the LED circuit board: I tapped into the positive and negative wires that were connected it to it. I thought that the LED board configuration may be what is preventing any add-on power options. It just seemed simple and logical. Had me scratching my head for answers. Nothing worked until:........................................

This saved perhaps thousands of lives because this worked. The wires now connected to the new configuration powered up a series of 3per LED housing (8 total = 24 bright enough LEDs to illuminate all of the trunk space). Thank you Agent Alex!!!



Just curious Brian_S550: North Side or suburbs?
