Fingers crossed for the battery.
Not really charging in the boot - I am happy to charge them in the house, but to pick up a battery or two, hookup with something in the boot and use them as auxiliary power instead of the car battery.
The main purpose is:
1) putting spots into the tailgate to light up the ground underneath the tailgate & the surround area for when sorting the dog out in the dark.
2) some of the spots will be red in colour. I am an amateur astronomer and drive out into them hills up here for very dark skies and good views, but you need light to see what you are doing. Decided this would be an excellent way to do it & I can also use the car boot as a comfy seat when taking photos etc.
3) just received the rear view camera, will be fitting that (the Mrs has been spoiled by the Toyota having it for years, and the astra is over a metre longer.) I noticed when reversing at a popular dog walking area I could not see a thing. So I decided with the rear camera going in, the aftermarket parking sensors are being replaced with 4 LED spots for lighting up behind me when reversing in these many many dark places.
