I found the light level in the Frunk and Trunk to be very poor. Here is what I did to brighten things up.
I purchased 2 of the following light kits from Fry's. There are available elsewhere.
OLSHAWHT2 Home Accent Expansion Kit
I also purchased 2) 5ft. extensions and 1) 10ft extension.
OLSHAEXT5FT Home Accent Extension
OLSHAEXT10FT Home Accent Extension
Pop out the 2 lights in the Trunk and the one in the Frunk (extra hard to remove). Unplug the light from it's wires. I used a small snap knife pop the lens off the LED base while holding the back with a set of Visegrip pliers.
Cut one of the 1ft extension cords in half and strip back the wires. Marry the green and white (negative) and the red and black (positive). Then solder the wires to the pins providing power to the LED. I nipped the black housing a little to allow the wires to pass easier. Align the base and cover (they only go one way) and snap shut.
Stick the light strip under the privacy shelf mount and feed the wire down through the vent opening and out of the light hole (coat hanger helps here).
The Frunk wiring can follow the wiper hose at the hinge and tuck under the weather stripping. I stuck the light strip in the curve of the hood pointed back down the hood.

Now there is plenty of light. :smile:
