I know... you're saying to yourself "Why doesn't Mellow just go get another wing,
enough with all the lights.... "

But, trust me, you'll like this one...

I can't say how much I really like the Stingerz LEDs from Custom Dynamics.

I used them on the Mellow Lighting post and decided I could do something with
the Givi trunk and the powerlet I have installed. So, here goes:

I used a strip of 3 White LEDs for this application.

I have a powerlet installed in my trunk for charging my cell phone. Here's
what it looks like inside the trunk.

I found a place on the lid of the Givi trunk where it's got just the angle I
wanted to point the light at the contents of the trunk.

I found some spare wiring that had one end that fit the male/female
pigtail of the powerlet so I decided to use that to get the power to
the switch.

I now needed a place for a switch, I had a couple of these sitting around
and they are just small enough to fit behind the red document holder on
the trunk but you could just as easily epoxy'd it to the inside somewhere.

I hooked up all the wires and tested then soldered and taped it all up.
