Just attempted to plug in last night, in the dark - not easy without a torch. Has anyone identified any LED options to fit inside the flap?
 
This something I had seen this was clipped on the inside of the flap to give light to plug in. If you had your charge plug in your had and unlock the car you would have light from the headlights and rear light long enough to plug in before they go off.

I have a zappi charger mounted on an outside wall, directly above the charger I have one of those cheap Aldi PIR solar led lights. Helps when getting in and out the car at night as well.
 
I need something for wherever I am at charging time. At home, my security light is fine. Thanks to everyone who replied, I’m going for the cut-down USB charge LED dog collar. I’ll post a review when I‘ve done some testing.
 
Just an update. Got the USB dog collar, as suggested, and cut it to size I made it a snug fit with the switch at the top. Works very well, what a difference. Thanks to everyone who helped.
 
It’s dark outside so here are some night shots. I’ll post a daytime shot tomorrow. Note the small white clips to hang the rubber bung, stops it clattering on the paint work.
