lights in the trunk area
Is it only me or are the lights in the trunk area completely useless? Even in my parents Kia Forte you have great lighting in the trunk area. In my Macan you can't see anything in the trunk at night. Just curious if there is any adjustment I can make those lights brighter.

Thank you, seems to be the only solution.
On the other hand, WTF Porsche!! You buy a Luxury car and now you have to fiddle in some cheap LED bulbs risking messing with the electronics and loosing warranty. Why can't they put something appropriate in there? Don't they test the cars?

I installed these in the cargo area... they help quite a bit, but the effect is incremental, not revolutionary

Nice. Direct pop-out replacement without any re-wiring? No codes being thrown?

I was just feeling that how useless trunk lights were last night. Thanks for sharing the link. Just purchased and hope these LED helps to see better in trunk area at night.
Here is the instruction sheet from the eBay product listing. It is not in English, but the pictures are pretty clear. You are essentially snapping apart the light enclosure, removing the circuit board and replacing it with the new circuit board, and then snapping it all back together. No glue or screws involved...it is all a snap fit. Then of course just plug it back into the wiring harness. Hope this helps!

only needed a trim tool to remove the light assembly from the trunk. Unplug harness, take off plastic cover. Replace the light and install. It was very smooth 5 mins job. Thanks for sharing.
