Rear Interior Light

[biffo]

It's a bit dark in the rear of the MG5 - has anyone found a workable solution to rear interior lights? Ideally that doesn't involve cutting a hole in the headlining - I was thinking maybe a wire run from front interior light and something attached near the rear grab handles? Or on the C Pillar where the trim join is?

Get the kids a head torch each

Depends how often you would need it, but there are stick on battery operated ones.

Thought it would be cool to add a subtle LED strip to one of the positions circled red - particularly the C Pillar area - wired behind roof liner to the front light unit - so they operated when doors opened, etc.

Oversight by MG as the Rowei was popular as taxi and this seems to be same in England

Up until you mentioned it I had not noticed the car didnt have a rear interior light.The back of the car is too dark for me too so I found a low profile led light on Amazon which solved the problem for me.

That’s an excellent idea. Which one did you buy? I can only see this but not certain it’s the same as your one

Your link doesn't seem to work for me so I just took a picture off Amazon. It just has a on-off switch which I was hoping to convert to a 2 way and enable someone to switch it on in the back. Unfortunately it is a miniature Chinese switch that I can't find on the internet (not in the English language anyway). But I'm just happy to have light to make sure my son's child seat is done up right.

They both seem good if you don't want to hard wire a light. The prices are reasonable too.

I looked at those before - might work okay, would like some with a switch if possible. Need to search more I guess.

Lidl has good one at the moment - pack of two for £3.99

sorry no idea how to show link. Someone else has posted recently as that gave me motivation to pop out and get them.
