Hey just found this great post. The frunk is really dim. Did you just cut a rectangle into the frunk there? What did you use for the connector? It looks like an old PC fan connector plug. Did that plug into the stock lights?There are three wires to the FRUNK button/light. You just find the positive and negative, and use those. And here for your wiring convenience are those wires labeled. I've tapped in and added a connector for the second light. And on my end this thing is right-side up. Not sure what happened there!View attachment 353412
Yup, just used a utility knife to make the square hole (using a factory light housing as a template). And I used whatever connector I found handy in my connector bin! I wanted a removable connection so that plastic piece could be easily removed entirely without having to cut or desolder wires. Nothing plugged into any of the stock wiring. I spliced a new set of light wires behind the OEM connector with those screw-together barrel connectors.Hey just found this great post. The frunk is really dim.

These had to be the easiest install ever. 2 footlights and 2 in the trunk. 5 minutes total, max! I like a challenge, next I will install one in the back seat under the charging ports on the center console.Theres gotta be 10 times the light in these areas now. Abstract Ocean absolutely rocks!I went with Abstract Ocean's lights and love em. Here's a demo and install video.

Is that add-on LED on all the time?OK! One more project done. I added light to the Frunk. It is a factory module with the 3-LED upgrade.

Nope. Switched with the OEM light that's in there too.Is that add-on LED on all the time?
Thanks for your reply. How does it turn on and off automatically?Nope. Switched with the OEM light that's in there too.
Ok, I confirmed it. If the frunk is closed, the light turns off after 5 minutes exactly. This is whether you drive or just sit in the car.I'd have to guess that when the car "starts" that all interior lights go out. I also didn't realize that those lights would stay on for any length of time once the frunk was closed. Does the trunk light stay on when closed too??
Ah. Well, that's great info to have. I'm gonna guess that the trunk works the same way. I'm not sure that I understand the benefit of a 5-minute delay, but as long as it shuts off, we're good!Ok, I confirmed it. If the frunk is closed, the light turns off after 5 minutes exactly.

Again, thanks for the great mod idea!!!
Well, technically the third light in the middle IS a strip light. I just chose three emitters. If I did it again, I'd probably choose to use six.Nice work! I like the third light in the trunk. Now I can't decide between that or adding a LED light strip.
How are you holding the light/button in place without the diffuser?The frunk light is abysmal. Someone told me that means bad. I suspected the diffuser was the main culprit, and so it turned out to be. No more diffuser cover. Voila.
