No boot light in my Fronx: How I installed a regular lamp as a solution

I had thought of alternate options if the wiring or connector is not provided.

BHPian bobbyblr recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hi Folks,

One major feature that was missing in Fronx Delta+ is the boot light. I had ordered the required parts even before getting the delivery of the car.

Yesterday I opened the dummy plastic in the boot but found some wiring with sleeve and foam. But there was no connector left inside. I thought that Maruti Suzuki might have provided the connector in Delta+. See below photo:

I had thought of alternate options if the wiring or connector is not provided. Hence ordered Ikea MOLGAN which is battery operated and has Ambient light sensor and Motion sensor without any switch. I has also ordered rechargeable AAA Ni-MH batteries. There were alternates in Amazon with a Li-Ion battery option but I don't want to take risks this a Li-ion battery. There was also Ikea RAMSTA which has a switch but with the reflector for the LEDs I thought the light distribution will not be that good.

I fixed the base plate with the 3M VHB and Primer.

Later I used the double side foam on the battery plate so that there will no vibrations.

Below are the photos during daytime after fixing it:

How it looks like in the night time:

Now every time I open the boot the lamp comes on automatically because of the motion sensor.
