Don't mean to sound cheap but $2.98 at Walmart you can get a stick on under cabinet round 6 led light that velcros right nice in the trunk. Works like a champ and you can pull it out and use it as a flash light too.

I like your style DW... and yes they do work like a champ.

I had one on my 98 GL1500 and loved it. My daughter especially like the mirror for fixing her hair after the helmet. I wanted one for the GL1800 but was told they were discontinued, so I didn't get one. So I miss it...

Goldwing Trunk Light - Value vs. Price
Had an OEM trunk light installed in my Wing trunk. Cost of light and electrical harness $68.93 and $38.69 respectively. Time and Labor for the install: 1hr 15min; $53.70.
Light works fine, comes on when trunk opens and has an optional switch to turn light on/off manually. Light is pretty good, but not $161.32 worth.
Suggest that prior to adding a mod, post the info online and get feedback from those that may have been there before...I wish I had.
Thanks,

Heading to Walmart for the $3.00 mod. Does that include batteries?

No...mine uses 2 each AA's. Do you have Velcro? In the hobby section. I put mine off to the side of the trunk because if you put it in the middle of the lid, it interferes with putting a helmet in there. They have them in 3 packs too so you can put one in the trunk and 1 in each side bag. Up-town for sure..

I went to harbor freight and got a 24 led white light strip. It ran $12 and I used a small on/off switch in the back corner of the trunk. I epoxied the light in the trunk lid and it works great. Very bright. I used the red one they had first and it just wasn't that bright but still worked good.

I wired one in my trunk that has a switch on a plug that goes into a Cigarette light, can charge the cell phone when I want, but like Dreamweavers idea.
