HI, all. New owner of a 2015 Giga Rex, purchased CPO from an Atlanta-area BMW dealer. I'm used to tinkering with my vehicles, but not much I want to change on this one!
I was a little disappointed in the mediocre trunk light, so I added an LED strip to the underside of the trunk cover. A few pics:

The current trunk light just pops out, so a couple of quick splice connectors provided power.

I used 3M body moulding tape to adhere a section of warm white waterproof LED strip lighting.

A polarized quick disconnect (upper left) lets me disconnect if I need to remove the cover.

Total time was <1 hour. Makes a huge difference when accessing the trunk when I leave for work (always in the dark).
