Liftback hatch light - Toyota Yaris Forums

mazilla · 07-17-2012, 09:01 PM

I added a light to my hatch to make it easier to see my work at night(read labels, etc)...I just tapped into the existing light(which you seem to be missing) and used an led panel I found on Ebay that almost fit the access cover on the hatch perfectly. I used a little "Goop" to fill in the void and secure the panel, then painted a frame around the light to help pretty it up a little...it still needs something to finish it off, it still looks kinda crappy to me, but it works really well.

It's really bright now, I call it my chandelier :)
