|  Reviewing the VIP Trunk
Hello all, I see that there have not been an abundance of pics posted here. I will share the pics of my installation of a VIP Trunk that I purchased on E-Bay for as little as $ 60. I wish I had continued to scroll down the page on E-bay to see that these were as low as $60. I paid double that...Yes I feel stupid. I would like to answer some of the questions I see posted here. Quality...Well I have seen trunks that are constructed of plastic resin at least three times as thick as these...Of course they were police trunks and cost at least $600 with nothing in them. no mounting hardware nothing. As for this box I like it. I have added some weather stripping with adhesive around the trunk lid, as it does rattle without it. The LED lights that come in this trunk SUCK! The LED lights in the spoiler are the only ones that light in a steady fashion as brake lights...and no they are not bright at all. the tail lights/marker lights are not bad in the dark but are nearly invisible during the day. Did I mention that the LED lights that come with this trunk Suck!!! All is not lost. I added two Whelen Super LED "Hide-Away" Lights in from the rear of the tail light assemblies, used the "Scan-lock" feature to set them on the "Steady Burn" mode. You see these are normally used as warning lights on emergency vehicles, and oh boy are they bright! I am adding pics. There are two inside the trunk (which has lots of room inside). One of them is of the Back of the LED Inserted through the housing into the light assembly. the other shows the trunk with some junk in it and the fuse panel, relay and Streamlite polystinger that I added these are not included with the trunk.( I have a rubber band holding the polystinger in the charger because I live on a bumpy dirt road in S. Georgia. You will notice in the pic with the brake lights on that there are two other very bright LED lights one on either side of my tag. These too are Whelen emergency vehicle lights set to steady burn and wired into the brake light circuit. Crap.....I will have to add a second post with the other pics. anyway here ya go I look forward to you're comments. |
