I got tired of the anemic little bulb in the hatch so I decided (of course) to make a simple improvement. Two LED lights strips and 10 minutes later and now it's much, much brighter. The old bulb was about as bright as a candle in a jam jar, and now I can get a sun tan every time I open my hatch.

I love this Beetle!!! It's the perfect canvas.

That is choice work mang! I take it you just wired them in at the same place as the Jam Jar lights?

Yes, snipped two wires and wired the LED strips in, positioned the lights and I was done.

How long are the strips? Where did you get them. I got to do this to my Herbie! I work nights. Perfect mod!
